physical properties | gallium selenide is a dark-brown flashing plate-like crystal. Relative density 5.03, melting point (960±10). GaSe, like GaS, is a semiconductor with layered structure. With the decrease of temperature, the maximum value of the photoelectric effect of GaSe moves in the direction of short wave. |
preparation | gallium selenide can be prepared by slowly heating a 1: 1 mixture of selenium and gallium. |
Use | gallium selenide is a semiconductor with a band gap of approximately 2eV. GaSe has a direct band gap with strong photoluminescence and can be used in optoelectronic devices. |
