We extend the model for the calculation of electronic polarizability o
f A(I)B(III)C2VI and A(II)B(IV)C2V chalcopyrite semiconductors using p
lasma frequency formalism already employed for the calculation of othe
r parameters. Polarizability has also been calculated using plasma fre
quency data and the well known equation given by Clausius and Mossotti
. Results of both the theories are compared. A fairly good agreement h
as been obtained between them and the values reported by other workers
.
