Arsenic Alloys


Arsenic is a metalloid element, with three allotropes: gray arsenic (metallic arsenic), yellow arsenic and black arsenic. Gray arsenic is the most stable at room temperature, has metallic properties, is brittle and hard, and is insoluble in water.

 

Applications:

✔ Organic and inorganic arsenic pesticides are used for insecticides, sterilization, weed control and snail control, etc.

✔ Arsenic is used for doping semiconductors of solid-state electronic components, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium arsenide (InAs).

✔ GaAs, as a representative of the second generation of semiconductors, is an intermetallic compound formed by the combination of gallium and arsenic in an atomic ratio of 1:1. It is widely used in diodes, cathode ray tubes, microwave ovens and solar cells, etc.

✔ Cadmium germanium arsenide (is a chalcopyrite semiconductor with excellent nonlinear optical properties. Therefore, cadmium germanium arsenide crystals have broad application prospects in the field of optoelectronics and have attracted much attention.

✔ Arsenic has both metallic and non-metallic properties. It can form arsenic alloys when combined with metals, and arsenic alloys can effectively improve the properties of the original alloy.

History:

In the 10th century BC, ancient China had already used orpiment as a pigment.

In 340 BC, the Greek Aristotle recorded in his works that substances such as realgar were found in mines, and that cockscomb stone could be dissolved in water to poison birds and beasts.

In the 8th century, the ancient Greek scientist Hippocrates used realgar and orpiment in medicine to treat ulcers.

In the 13th century, the German alchemist Albert Magnus used alchemy to produce elemental arsenic for the first time by heating arsenic sulfide and soap.

In the 18th century, Swedish chemist and mineralogist Brandt clarified the relationship between arsenic and arsenic trioxide and other arsenic compounds.
