contents In this study, we investigate the conductivity of a two-dimensional (2D) system in HgTe quantum well comprising two types of carriers with linear and quadratic spectra, respectively. The interactions between the two-dimensional Dirac holes and the heavy holes lead to the breakdown of Galilean invariance, resulting in interaction-limited resistivity. Our exploration of the transport properties spans from low temperatures, where both subsystems are fully degenerate, to higher temperatures, where the Dirac holes remain degenerate while the heavy holes follow Boltzmann statistics, creating a partially degenerate regime. Through a developed theory, we successfully predict the behavior of resistivity as $ρ\sim T^2$ and $ρ\sim T^{3}$ for the fully degenerate and partially degenerate regimes, respectively, which is in reasonable agreement with experimental observations. Notably, at elevated temperatures, the interaction-limited resistivity surpasses the resistivity caused by impurity scattering by a factor of 5-6. These findings imply that the investigated system serves as a versatile experimental platform for exploring various interaction-limited transport regimes in two component plasma.
