The band structure of SiP 2 is determined by the orthogonalized plane wave method. This compound is found to be a semimetal. The density of states of the valence electrons n (ϵ) is calculated by the linear interpolation method. The function n (ϵ) is compared with the experimental X‐ray emission L‐ and K‐bands of silicon and phosphorus in SiP 2 .
