M Formula: | GaP |
Properties: | |
Pale-orange, transparent crystals or whiskers up to 2 cm long, made by vapor phase reaction at relatively low temperatures between phosphorus and gallium suboxide. These crystalsare intermediate between normal semiconductors and insulators or phosphors. They operate over a temperature range of −55 to 500C. Gallium phosphide is electroluminescent in visible light. | |
