Dependencies of electronic structure and lattice properties of InN with zinc-blende structure on hydrostatic pressure are presented based on band structures computed using the empirical pseudopotential method. The pressure behavior of the pseudopotential form factors have been analyzed. The effect of pressure on the density of states has been examined. Trends in bonding and ionicity under pressure are also discussed. Our results show as well that the absolute value of the Fourier transform of the valence charge density might be useful in the prediction of the phase transition in zinc-blende materials.
