Abstract
The results of studying the most important energy-band parameters of a new quinary semiconductor HgCdMnZnTe solid solution are reported. It is shown that the parameters of HgCdMnZnTe can make this material highly competitive with HgCdTe, which is the main material for infrared photoelectronics in the spectral ranges 3–5 and 8–14 µm.
