摘要
Using the statistical moment method (SMM), the temperature and pressure dependences of thermodynamic quantities of zinc-blende-type semiconductors have been investigated. The analytical expressions of the nearest-neighbor distances, the change of volumes and the mean square atomic displacements (MSDs) have been derived. Numerical calculations have been performed for a series of zinc-blende-type semiconductors: GaAs, GaP, GaSb, InAs, InP and InSb. The agreement between our calculations and both earlier other theoretical results and experimental data is a support for our new theory in investigating the temperature and pressure dependences of thermodynamic quantities of semiconductors.
