The reliability of estimation of Debye temperature θ D evaluated from bulk modul and microhardness is proved for semiconductors with diamond, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite structure. The known linear relations available from the literature do not yield a reasonable agreement between experimental and calculated Debye temperatures. As in the case of the Lindemann rule a better approximation is obtained by use of a more general relation θ D = a 1 x + a 2 . The constants a 1 and a 2 are calculated for the substances under consideration. Unknown Debye temperatures are calculated.
