contents The semimetal quantum well (QW) based on HgTe structures exhibiting unusual transport properties at low temperature is examined experimentally. It demonstrates either a linear or quadratic growth of resistance with temperature at different top-gate voltages in the semimetal regime. We develop a theoretical model of HgTe-based semimetal QW resistance temperature dependence based on electron-hole scattering processes at low temperatures. We apply the Boltzmann transport equation approach to study the effect of electron-hole scattering in a semimetal QW. The calculated temperature behavior of 2D semimetal resistivity demonstrates an excellent agreement with experimental findings.
