Magnetotransport property of HgCdTe inversion layer

HgCdTe-based metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistor is fabricated by low-cost liquid phase epitaxy technique. Clear SdH oscillation in xx and quantum Hall plateaus of xy are observed, indicating that it is a good transistor. By measuring the magnetoresistance near zero field, we observe the weak antilocalization effect in our sample, suggesting a relatively strong spin-orbit coupling. The experimental data can be well fitted by the ILP theory. The fitting-obtained spin-splitting energy increases with increasing electron concentration, and the maximum reaches up to 9.06 meV. From the obtained spin-splitting energy, we calculate the spin-orbit coupling parameter and find that it increases with increasing electron concentration, which is contrary to the observations in a wide quantum well.
