from first principles for ternary semiconductors and applied to Pb 1-x Sn x Te. A six-level k. pi
theory, within the framework of the effective-mass representation, is used to calculate the
effective g-factor as a function of carrier density, tin concentration and temperature. The
temperature and concentration dependence of the energy gap is used via the virtual-crystal
approximation. The agreement with the available experiments is good, and the trends and …
