Abstract

Total energy and band structure results of linear-muffin-tin orbital calculations within the atoiuic-spliere-approxiiuation are presented for SiC, GaN and A1N in the zincblende and the wurtzite structure. We discuss the origin of the directness or indirectness and the relative magnitudes of the band gaps.
