Most of the ore for gallium comes from the mining of bauxite (the primary ore for aluminum) as well as some zinc ore deposits. However, unlike aluminum—which is among the most abundant metals in ...

An alloy of gallium and arsenic compound (GaAs) that is used as the base material for chips. Several times faster than silicon, it is used in high frequency applications such as cellphones ...

A Belgian-Canadian research team claims to have found a way to develop gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells at a lower cost while maintaining high power conversion efficiencies. The scientists said ...

The researchers built the device with an electron-blocking layer made of aluminium gallium arsenide phosphide (AlGaAsP), instead of more commonly used gallium indium phosphide (GaInP), that was ...
