Heats of formation of binary semiconductors

摘要

Heats of formation of tetrahedrally coordinated II-VI and III-V groups of binary semiconductors have been calculated using plasmon energy data. Two simple relations between plasmon energy and heats of formation have been proposed. One is based on spectroscopic model of Phillips and Van Vechten and other is based on the best-fit data of heats of formation. The calculated values of heats of formation from both the equations are compared with the experimental values and the values reported by earlier workers. A fairly good agreement has been obtained between them.
