Abstract

We show that in superlattices with a strong band inversion no hybridization gap exists. There are two points where the bands are crossing and the spectrum has a shape of Dirac cones. Due to the absence of the hybridization gap the optical absorption does not have a threshold and goes to zero gradually with the decrease of optical energy.
