Химические свойства
Gallium arsenide contains 48.2% gallium and 51.8% arsenic and is considered an intermetallic compound. It occurs as cubic crystals with a dark gray metallic sheen. Gallium arsenide is electroluminescent in infrared light. Gallium arsenide readily reacts with oxygen in air, forming a mixture of oxides of gallium and arsenic on the crystal surface. Gallium arsenide presents the following properties: hardness, 4.5; thermal expansion coefficient, 5.9×10

Garlic odor when moistened. Finely divided gallium arsenide can react vigorously with steam, energetic acids, and oxidizers to evolve arsine gas, and can release arsenic fumes when heated to decomposition. The molten form attacks quartz.
Физические свойства
Gray cubic crystal; density 5.316 g/cm3; melts at 1,227°C; hardness 4.5 Mohs; lattice constant 5.653?; dielectric constant 11.1; resistivity (intrinsic) at 27°C, 3.7x108 ohm-cm.
Использование
In semiconductor applications (transistors, solar cells, lasers).Gallium arsenide is among the most widely used intermetallic semiconductor components (Harrison, 1986; McIntyr and Sherin, 1989). Gallium arsenide is also incorporated into light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic cells, while gallium alloys are used for dental amalgam as a low toxicity replacement for mercury.
Подготовка
Gallium arsenide is prepared by passing a mixture of arsenic vapor and hydrogen over gallium(III) oxide heated at 600°C: Ga2O3 + 2As + 3H2 2GaAs + 3H2OThe molten material attacks quartz. Therefore, quartz boats coated with carbon by pyrolytic decomposition of methane should be used in refining the compound to obtain high purity material. Gallium arsenide is produced in polycrystalline form as high purity, single crystals for electronic applications. It is produced as ingots or alloys, combined with indium arsenide or gallium phosphide, for semiconductor applications.

Профиль реактивности
GALLIUM ARSENIDE can react with steam, acids and acid fumes. Reacts with bases with evolution of hydrogen. Attacked by cold concentrated hydrochloric acid. Readily attacked by the halogens. The molten form attacks quartz.
Опасность
Toxic metal. Questionable carcinogen
Пожароопасность
Flash point data for GALLIUM ARSENIDE are not available; however, GALLIUM ARSENIDE is probably combustible.
Профиль безопасности
Confirmed carcinogen.
Mddly toxic by intraperitoneal route. Most
arsenic compounds are poisons. Can react
with steam, acids, and acid fumes to evolve
the deadly poisonous arsine. Molten gallium
arsenide attacks quartz. When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
As. See also ARSENIC COMPOUNDS and
GALLIUM COMPOUNDS.
Канцерогенность
Carcinogenesis.
Gallium is antineoplastic in several
human and murine cancer cell lines and in some in vivo
cancers. It has been used experimentally in patients in the
treatment of lymphatic malignancies (including multiple
myelomas) and for urothelial malignancies. However,
the dissociation of gallium arsenide into gallium and arsenic
is a factor to take into account. A considerable number of
studies have evaluated the carcinogenic potential of arsenic
and various arsenic compounds.
Структура и конформация
The space lattice of gallium arsenide (GaAs) belongs to the cubic system Td2, and its zincblende-type structure has a lattice constant of a=0.5654 nm and a distance to its nearest
neighbor of 0.244 nm.
