contents Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations and magneto-intersubband oscillations of magnetoresistance of structures with single HgTe quantum wells with a width of (10-18) nm have been experimentally studied. The spectrum of the conduction band in these structures is split by the spin-orbit interaction. This leads to beats of the SdH oscillations and the appearance of low-frequency magneto-intersubband oscillations. The mutual position of the antinodes of the SdH oscillations and the maxima of the magneto-interband oscillations is unusual -- in low magnetic fields it is directly opposite to the predictions of the theory. Measurements in high magnetic fields, in which the relative amplitude of the SdH oscillations becomes greater than 0.2-0.3, show a change in the relative position of the antinodes of the SdH oscillations and the maxima of low-frequency oscillations. Numerical calculations and additional measurements at different temperatures show that the observed effects are due to oscillations of the Fermi level in the magnetic field.
