Terahertz detection of magnetic field-driven topological phase transition in HgTe-based transistors.

2018 
We report on Terahertz detection by inverted band structure HgTe-based Field Effect Transistor up to room temperature. At low temperature, we show that nonlinearities of the transistor channel allows for the observation of the quantum phase transition due to the avoided crossing of zero-mode Landau levels in HgTe 2D topological insulators. These results pave the way towards Terahertz topological Field Effect Transistors.
