Abstract

Quantum wells of HgTe doped with Mn display the quantum anomalous Hall effect due to the magnetic moments of the Mn ions. In the presence of a magnetic field, these magnetic moments induce an effective nonlinear Zeeman effect, causing a nonmonotonic bending of the Landau levels. As a consequence, the quantized (spin) Hall conductivity exhibits a reentrant behavior as one increases the magnetic field. Here, we will discuss the appearance of different types of reentrant behavior as a function of Mn concentration, well thickness, and temperature, based on the qualitative form of the Landau-level spectrum in an effective four-band model.
