39. 2 has a binary analogue GaP which has the minimum of the conduction band at X. The X point of the zinc-blende structure corresponds to the Γ point in the chalcopyrite Brillouin zone making the gap direct. A band gap of this nature is referred to as pseudo-direct.
40. The pressure coefficients of valence and conduction levels are calculated from the variation of their energies with pressure.
