Abstract
The band structures of Mg2Si, Mg2Ge, Mg2Sn, and of the solid solution Mg2(Ge, Sn) are calculated with an “a priori” version of the pseudopotential method. In the computation of the Mg form factors the Heine‐Abarenkov model potential and a Penn‐type dielectric function have been used. Our results settle the disagreement between previous calculations and recent experimental information.
