Notes:
In Phillips' spectroscopic theory of semiconductors, the covalency and ionicity are derived empirically from the average band gap between the highest valence and lowest conduction bands. In this paper an explicit expression for the average band gap is derived based on a continued fraction representation of the polarizability matrix. Results of a calculation for six covalent and polar semiconductors, using the pseudopotential model, are presented and compare favorably with experimental values.
