摘要: The pressure deri vative of the band gap, (∂E/∂P)T, has been determined to be + 3 × 10−6 e Vbar−1 for Mg2Sn by measurements derivative electrical conductivity. Similar on Mg2Si and Mg2Ge were inconclusive, but estimates this parameter made from shift optical obsorption edge with pressure. (∂E/∂P)T = (0 ± 0.5) both compounds. similarity coefficients suggests that symmetries edges compounds are similar, while either conduction edge, valence or in may have a different symmetry.
