[edit] Growth Processes?
This article states that it is difficult to grow GaAs via Czochralksi techniques, and that Bridgeman is used instead.... This is certainly not true for semi-insulating GaAs, which is most definitely grown by Czochralski methods! And since semi-insulating GaAs is basically really really pure GaAs, I would imagine that normal GaAs can be grown by this technique as well. Of course, since its mechanical properties are poorer, wafers of smaller diameters than, for example Si, could be grown, but I am sure it is still a viable technique. Anybody know anything else about this issue so we can put some more information on the page? Mike 18:41, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Electronic properties
It would be nice if this site contained the electronic properties of GaAs. For example it would be usefull to have the electron and nuclei's g-factors (lande factor) for this material. These are usefull qualities when considering qunatum dot's.

I once toasted an array of near UV LEDs by having a voltage much to high connected to it. It smelled funny - could this smell have been gallium arsenide? Thanks, --Abdull 20:47, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
yea prob was , get high off that shit --unknown
What you smelled was probably a combination of arsine and metal vapor from the contacts. Arsine smells faintly like garlic and leaves a metallic taste in your mouth. And most people who know what it smells like are dead. -- 128.111.74.89 (talk) 00:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Standard Cheminfo table and Electronic Properties
When I updated the table I left this there - does anyone think it should be in its own section in the article or left there?
- Ryan Jones 21:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think it looks good there. The only interest people really have in GaAs is due to its electronic properties, so I think it deserves a place in the table. Thanks for updating the table, it looks good! Walkerma 07:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oxidation number
Um, isn't GaAs gallium(III) arsenide? I don't think gallium forms any stable compounds in the +2 oxidation state. —Keenan Pepper 14:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Of course it is gallium(III) arsenide, but more simply known as plain old gallium arsenide. There is no stable substance gallium(II) arsenide. Jaraalbe 21:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Someone knows GaAs dielectric constant? Would be useful.

[edit] Price
Whats the price of Galium Arsnide? I'm interested in comparing it with silicon. Fresheneesz 23:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Production
Could we have a paragraph on how gallium arsenide is produced?
