Abstract

Gallium is a rare element. It is produced as a by-product in Al or Zn production. The physical properties of this metal are described in Table 3–1–1. Standard purification processes make it possible to obtain Ga as pure as 99.99999%. Liquid Ga reacts with quartz at high temperatures leading to impurities in GaAs grown in quartz containers. Ga is considered to be toxic.
