Using a self-consistent Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function method and the local density approximation for the exchange and correlation poten­tials, we calculated the electronic structure and the corresponding densi­ties of states for two semiconducting compounds that exist in both cubic (zinc-blende) and hexagonal (wurtzite and NiAs-type) crystal structures, i.e., for CdSe and MnTe. Due to the use of the same method of calculation for both structures a comparison between the obtained results and finding the factors that determine the difference between the properties of these two phases are possible. The presented local density approximation-Korringa­-Kohn-Rostoker results might be of importance for the understanding of the factors that determine the relative stability of different phases of semicon­ducting compounds.
