The band structure of ZnSiP 2 is calculated using the empirical pseudopotential method. The form factors are deduced from those of ZnS, Si, AIP, and Gap. The band structure obtained is in good agreement with recent experimental data. The influence of the distortion of the anion sublattice on the energy levels at r is examined and the optical transitions in the region from 3 to 5 eV are discussed.
