Abstract
A chemical-bond theory of the magnetic susceptibility of tetrahedral semiconductors is presented. Starting from a Hall-Weaire-type Hamiltonian, we derive an expression for the susceptibility, whose diamagnetic and paramagnetic contributions are written in terms of gauge-invariant physical quantities. Our analysis confirms a recently postulated model for the susceptibility. Theory and experiment are in good agreement.Keywords
