The surface carriers are Dirac particles with an energy which increases linearly with momentum. This confers extraordinary transport properties characteristic of Dirac matter, a class of materials which electronic properties are \"graphene-like\". We show how HgTe, a material known to exhibit 2D spin-Hall effect in thin quantum wells,\\cite{Konig2007} can be turned into a textbook example of Dirac matter by opening a strain-gap by exploiting the lattice mismatch on CdTe-based substrates.
