abstract = "The lead telluride is a narrow gap semiconductor which the Fermi
surface is composed by four equivalent ellipsoids of revolution
with their axis along the <111> direction, responsible for its
strong anisotropic of electronic masses. Those properties play an
important role in the electronic transport in presence of the
magnetic field [1]. Also, the narrow gap of PbTe allows this
material to be used in the fabrication of infrared devices [2]. In
this work, we present magnetoresistance (MR) measurements in
p-type PbTe quantum wells (QW) with 8nm and 10nm width for
magnetic field up to 9 T and for temperatures varying from 1.9 K
to 50 K. Samples were grown using the molecular bean epitaxial
technique providing high quality samples with high mobility. From
our experimental curves we could observed very clear Shubnikov-de
Haas Oscillations for the second-derivative of longitudinal
component \𝑅\𝑥\𝑥 and transversal
\𝑅\𝑥\𝑦 of the electrical resistance.
The analysis of the experimental curves using Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT) allowed us to obtain the cyclotronic masses and
the carrier concentrations. Also, from Hall measurements, it was
possible to compare the transport parameters obtained from the MR
curves. By deriving the energy levels in the QW´s and calculating
the Fermi energy, we found that only the first longitudinal valley
is occupied. We also observed a splitting in the FFT curves that
are not related to other valley contributions. We suggest that the
Rashba effect is responsible for this effect due to the splitting
of the Fermi surface energy [3].",
