Abstract
A multiple-scattering-cluster model of IV and III-V covalent semiconductors is proposed. The feasibility of the model is tested by carrying out calculations on GaAs. The valence band width, the energy band gap and the location of the cationic and anionic d levels obtained are in fairly good agreement with the experimental results for the bulk crystal.Keywords
