N2 - We study the transport properties of HgTe quantum wells with critical well thickness, where the band gap is closed and the low energy spectrum is described by a single Dirac cone. In this work, we examined both macroscopic and micron‐sized (mesoscopic) samples. In micron‐sized samples, we observe a magnetic‐field‐induced quantized resistance (~h/2e) at Landau filling factor v=0, corresponding to the formation of helical edge states centered at the charge neutrality point (CNP). In macroscopic samples, the resistance near a zero Landau level (LL) reveals strong oscillations, which we attribute to scattering between the edge v=0 state and bulk v≠0 hole LL. We provide a model taking an empirical approach to construct a LL diagram based on a reservoir scenario, formed by the heavy holes.
