What Is Gallium Oxide?

Gallium(III) trioxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Ga2O3. It exists as several polymorphs, all of which are white, water-insoluble solids. Although no commercial applications exist, Ga2O3 is an intermediate in the purification of gallium, which is consumed almost exclusively as gallium arsenide

Gallium trioxide is precipitated in hydrated form upon neutralization of acidic or basic solution of gallium salt. Also, it is formed on heating gallium in air or by thermally decomposing gallium nitrate at 200–250 ˚C. It can occur in five different modifications, α, β, γ, δ, and ε. Of these modifications β-Ga2O3 is the most stable form. 

  • β-Ga2O3 is prepared by heating nitrate, acetate, oxalate or other organic derivatives above 1000 °C.
  • α-Ga2O3 can be obtained by heating β-Ga2O3 at 65 kbars and 1100 °C. The hydrated form can be prepared by decomposing precipitated and “aged” gallium hydroxide at 500 °C.
  • γ-Ga2O3 is prepared by rapidly heating the hydroxide gel at 400–500 °C. A more crystalline form of this polymorph can be prepared directly from gallium metal by a solvothermal synthesis. 
  • δ-Ga2O3 is obtained by heating Ga(NO3)3 at 250 °C.
  • ε-Ga2O3 is prepared by heating δ-Ga2O3 at 550 °C. Thin films of ε-Ga2O3 are deposited by means of Metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy using Trimethylgallium and water on sapphire substrates at temperatures between 550 and 650 °C  

Usage

Gallium(III) oxide has been studied in the use of lasers, phosphors, and luminescent materials.  It has also been used as an insulating barrier in tight junctions

We can help to supply:

  •  APT
  •  Sodium Tungstate
  •  Calcium Tungstate
  •  Tungsten Trioxide

Tungsten Trioxide is typically available in most volumes. Ultra-high purity, high purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered.
