An essential part of understanding the properties of materials is knowing their band structure. One of the most standardized methods to acquire the band structure of solids is provided by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which provides access to the electronic structures of the area close to the surface of the sample (typical depths in Ångström range). However, in 2D heterostructures, additional buffer and capping layers limit this procedure. Here we present the results of an alternative method to obtain the band dispersion of such samples by probing the cyclotron resonance of the free carriers in thin films based on the HgTe. With the presented technique we can map both the electron and hole part of the band structures of HgTe films in semimetallic and topological insulating phases. The resulting band pictures overlap well with the theoretical results, provided by the k· p model.
