Description
Ab initio band structure calculations of the orthorhombic Hg3TeCl4 crystals of the symmetry D2h15 were performed and the topology of its valence band was analyzed in the framework of the elementary energy bands concepts. The effective masses of charge carriers were estimated. It was demonstrated that the anisotropy of the effective mass tensor components does not coincide with the mechanical one of the Hg3TeCl4 crystal. A possible reason of this fact was proposed.
