Chemical Interaction of Indium Arsenide and Gallium Antimonide with Sulfur

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The reactions of fine-particle indium arsenide and gallium antimonide with sulfur and the composition of the reaction products obtained from different starting mixtures were studied by differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, chemical analysis, and IR spectroscopy. The reaction between indium arsenide and sulfur begins at lower temperatures in comparison with gallium antimonide, is autocatalyzed, and yields In2S3 and As2S3. The reaction between gallium antimonide and sulfur yields Ga2S3, Sb2S3, and (GaS)2. Thermolysis of the resultant sulfide mixtures ensures a more complete separation of the sulfides in the case of indium arsenide.
