Emergent quantum Hall effects below \(50\) mT in a two-dimensional topological insulator

The realization of the quantum spin Hall effect in HgTe quantum wells has led to the development of topological materials which, in combination with magnetism and superconductivity, are predicted to host chiral Majorana fermions. However, the large magnetization (\(\sim\) a few tesla) in conventiona...

description The realization of the quantum spin Hall effect in HgTe quantum wells has led to the development of topological materials which, in combination with magnetism and superconductivity, are predicted to host chiral Majorana fermions. However, the large magnetization (\(\sim\) a few tesla) in conventional quantum anomalous Hall system, makes it challenging to induce superconductivity. Here, we report two different emergent quantum Hall effects in HgTe quantum wells dilutely alloyed with Mn. Firstly, a novel quantum Hall state emerges from the quantum spin Hall state at an exceptionally low magnetic field of \(\sim 50\) mT. Secondly, tuning towards the bulk \(p\)-regime, we resolve multiple quantum Hall plateaus at fields as low as \(20 - 30\) mT, where transport is dominated by a van Hove singularity in the valence band. These emergent quantum Hall phenomena rely critically on the topological band structure of HgTe and their occurrence at very low fields make them an ideal candidate for interfacing with superconductors to realize chiral Majorana fermions.
