A simple method based on a plasma oscillations theory of solids is proposed for the calculation of mechanical and optical properties such as microhardness ( H ), bulk modulus ( B ), dielectric constant ( ϵ ), polarizability ( α ), electronic susceptibility ( χ ) of A II B IV C 2 V and A I B III C 2 VI semiconductors. Our calculated values are in excellent agreement with the values reported by earlier researchers. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
