Abstract
The effect of quantizing magnetic field on the electron transport is investigated in a two dimensional topological insulator (2D TI) based on a 8â¯nm (013) HgTe quantum well (QW). The local resistance behavior is indicative of a metal-insulator transition at Bâ6â¯T. On the whole the experimental data agrees with the theory according to which the helical edge states transport in a 2D TI persists from zero up to a critical magnetic field Bc after which a gap opens up in the 2D TI spectrum.
