A combination of the pseudopotential method with the k p ‐method was used to, calculate the complete band structure of AIAs. The pseudopotential form factors were determined by fitting to the known optical transition energies. Effective masaes were calculated for the principally important conduction band minima and the valence band maximum and compared with experimental data so far as possible.
