CAS 1303-11-3: Indium arsenide

Indium arsenide is a compound of indium and arsenic with a variety of applications. It is used in the preparation of testicular tissue samples, which are then analyzed using low-light or light-emission spectroscopy. Indium arsenide has been shown to have an effect on the transport properties of boron nitride, as well as lung damage and carcinogenic potential. The kinetic energy and activation energies for zirconium oxide can be determined from the emission spectrum of indium arsenide. Indium arsenide also displays thermal expansion properties that can be measured using a thermometer.

Indium arsenide is used in semiconductor electronics, construction of infrared detectors, terahertz radiation source, as it is a strong Photo-dember emitter, superior electron mobility and velocity, in high-power applications detector, diode lasers.
