Abstract
A first principles pseudopotential method within the local density approximation is used to calculate the pressure coefficients for band gaps in several diamond and zincblende semiconductors. Despite the underestimation of the band gaps found in almost all local density calculations, the predictions for the linear pressure coefficients and the critical pressures for conduction band inversion are consistent with experiment for all cases considered.
