Abstract
Reflecting the anisotropic nature of the crystal [1, 2], the electronic structure of tellurium is quite peculiar. In particular, the top of the valence band is located in the vicinity of the H-point in the Brillouin zone and takes the form of camel-back shape because of the existence of the large kz-linear term[3], as is shown in Fig.3. The height of the maxima from the saddle point (H-point) is 2 meV and km is 2×106 cm−1 [4, −6]. Anzin et al. [7] found that this double-maximum structure disappeared under the hydrostatic pressure of 14 kbar by Shubnikov-de Haas experiment. This enables us to expect some conspicuous effect in the electronic properties under comparatively low hydrostatic pressure.
