Abstract
We calculate the dependence of the direct and indirect band gaps on te mperature in the narrow-gap semiconductors InAs and InSb. Our calculat ions are based on the empirical pseudopotential method. The obtained r esults compare reasonably well with available experimental data. (C) 1 997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
