Different models of electron energy for GaSe are
considered for the purpose of deriving thermodynamic functions for an electron
gas at low and high temperatures. Their common features and differences are
pointed out and their agreement with existing data is analyzed. The results
show cases where the two models are equivalent. We also show conditions at
which they yield different results and therefore peculiarities of the chemical
bonding are to be taken into consideration.
