Abstract
The band structure of the solid solutions MnxHg1−xSe is constructed on the basis of the band parameters obtained from the electrophysical and optical investigations of these solid solutions. It is shown that the band structure of MnxHg1−xSe and the dynamics of the bands as a function of the composition and temperature are analogous to those for CdxHg1−xTe. It is shown that the variation of the nonparabolicity of the band spectrum of MnxHg1−xSe as a function of the temperature greatly affects the temperature coefficient of the change of the width of the optical forbidden band (dεgop/dT).
