Abstract
The PT-symmetric photoconductivity has been detected for the first time in microwave-irradiated heterostructures based on thick Hg1 − xCdxTe films with the CdTe content x corresponding to the topological phase although the magnetic field symmetry (T symmetry) and the symmetry in the positions of potential contact pairs (P symmetry) are not conserved separately. The microwave photoconductivity in similar heterostructures based on the trivial Hg1 − xCdxTe phase is both P- and T-symmetric.
