Summary
The average energy gap of magnesium, calcium and strontium compounds has been calculated by using the plasma oscillation theory of solids. The calculated values are in fair agreement with the observed values and the values calculated by different workers. Our calculations are not restricted to simple binary and ternary compounds, but can also be sucessfully applied to all types of compounds.
Riassunto
Si è calcolato il gap medio di energia del magnesio, del calcio e dello stronzio usando la teoria delle oscillazioni del plasma dei solidi. I valori calcolati sono in buon accordo con i valori osservati e i valori calcolati da diversi studiosi. I nostri calcoli non sono ristretti a semplici composti ternari e binari, ma possono essere applicati con successo a tutti i tipi di composto.
Резюме
Используя теорию плазменных осцилляций втверрдых телах, вычисляется средняя энергетическая щель в соединениях Mg, Ca и Sr. Вьчисленные величины хорошо согласуются с наблюденными значениями и результатами других авторов. Наши вычнсления не ограничиваются простыми бинарными и тройными соединениями, а могут буть применехы ко всем типам соединений.
