Magnetooptics of HgTe/CdTe quantum wells with giant rashba splitting in magnetic fields up to 34 T

The electron cyclotron resonance spectra in classical and quantizing magnetic fields in asymmetric heterostructures with HgCdTe/CdHgTe quantum wells with selective barrier doping are investigated. Self-consistent calculations of the energy spectra at $B$ = 0 and Landau levels in the framework of the 8-band Kane model using the Hartree approximation are made. The strong ($\sim$10%) splitting of the cyclotron resonance line observed in weak fields is attributed to the Rashba effect in samples with inverted and normal band structures. The evolution of absorption lines upon a variation in the magnetic field is investigated up to 34 T, when the magnetic quantization already dominates over Rashba splitting.
