Abstract
We have investigated the temperature dependence of the electron effective mass in MnxHg1−xSe crystals (0 < x ⩽ 0.1) in the T=90–300 K temperature range. We have determined that the temperature-dependent changes in the band gap (εg), in the band diagram nonparabolicity, and in the conduction band carrier concentration have a strong effect on the temperature dependence of the carrier effective mass at the Fermi level mξ *=f(T).
