Received June 26, 1998

Electron and hole spectra in -HgS cylindrical quantum wire superlattice in
-CdS matrix are calculated within the method of augmented plane waves.
The energy term determined by the movement of quasiparticles in direction
perpendicular to the axial axis of the wire is presented by the alternating
zones with a positive and a negative effective mass. The degeneration on
the magnetic quantum number outside point of Brillouin zone is taken off
when the potential of the superlattice quantum wires is taken into account.
The ground zones energy dependence of plane quasiparticle movement
on the radii of the quantum wires as well as the distance between the wires
are investigated.

Key words: semiconductor, electron, hole, superlattice, quantum wire
