Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)

  • Chapter
Optical Constants of Crystalline and Amorphous Semiconductors

Abstract

Regarding device applications, GaAs is currently one of the most versatile semiconductors in use [1-3]. From an aspect of the solid-state phySiCs, GaAs is extremely interesting as prototypal direct-band-gap semiconductor. A review of many phySiCal and semiconducting properties of GaAs has been given in Refs. [4–8].
