Description
Gallium Telluride Product Overview
Gallium telluride (GaTe) is a dark grey crystalline semiconductor with a layered structure and a direct band gap of about 1.65 eV. Its layers can be exfoliated into thin flakes, which makes it interesting for two-dimensional materials research.
Researchers use gallium telluride crystals and thin layers in studies on photodetectors, flexible optoelectronics and nonlinear optics. It is also investigated for phase-change memory and radiation detection. High-purity material (99.999%) is needed for reproducible semiconductor properties.
Related materials in our range include Gallium Metal, Bismuth telluride and Zinc selenide.
