Abstract—The energy spectrum of a planar quantum well formed by two narrow-gap semicon-
ductor strips with a graphene strip inserted between them was considered. It was shown that the
gapless mode arises only in the case of inverted narrow-gap semiconductors. Taking into account the
graphene specificity, the spin splitting of the energy spectrum of the asymmetric quantum well was
calculated. Interface states and optical transitions were studied. It was shown that optical transitions
are possible only with parity conservation.
