The electronic structure of the oxides and sulfides of Mg, Ca, and Sr is computed with use of the self-consistent Hartree-Fock method including correlation. Energy-band structure and density of states are presented and discussed in context with the available experimental and theoretical studies. Our results predict that these materials (except MgS) are direct-band-gap materials.
