English abstract We present results on ab initio calculations of the effective masses for the II-VI zinc-blende wide band gap semiconductor compounds. The electronic band structure has been calculated using the full potential linearized augmented plane waves method. By computing the curvature of the principal band extrema at the G-point we have calculated the effective mass values. We show that our calculated values compare acceptably well with values reported in the literature
