Abstract. This paper presents theoretical research on the basic band parameters and galvanomagnetic phenomena in multicomponent solid solutions Hg1–х–yCdxMnyTe, Hg1-x–zCdxZnzTe and Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe, resulting in the empirical formulae for the energy gap and the intrinsic carrier concentration of these materials in a wide range of temperatures and compositions. The effective mechanisms of charge carrier scattering, concentration and activation energy of acceptor impurities have been determined. The results of theoretical research are in a good agreement with the experimental and literature data.

Keywords: solid solutions, electronic transport, galvanomagnetic effects, band structure.
