Electrophysical properties of Hg2MnInTe6 single crystals grown by the modified zone melting method were studied. To
expand the band-gap, a multiple part of Hg in 3(HgTe)-In2Te3 was replaced by an isovalent metal with a smaller ionic
radius - Mn. Single crystals had n-type conductivity and possessed a resistivity of ρ≈5×106 cm (293 K), which was
determined from the linear region of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics for In/Hg2MnInTe6/In structure with two
ohmic contacts. The product µτ≈ (1.7-3.4)×10-4

is determined. Compensation degree (≈ 0.99) of the
semiconductor material and the energy position of deep level Ed ≈ 0.37-0.4 eV responsible for the dark conductivity were
determined from measurements of the temperature dependence of the resistivity and space-charge limited currents
(SCLC). From the optical measurements, the band-gap of single crystals was determined, which is equal to Eg = 1.15 eV
(293 K). Au/Hg2MnInTe6/In structures with rectifying contacts were fabricated.
