/ˈɡæliəm ˈɑːrsənaɪd/
(GaAs) has a crystalline structure and is known for its unique electrical and optical properties. It is a direct band gap semiconductor, which means that it can efficiently emit and absorb light. This property makes GaAs well-suited for optoelectronic applications such as lasers, photodetectors, and solar cells. | |||
