Materials Data on GaAs by Materials Project
GaAs is High Pressure Cadmuum Telluride structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ga3+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent As3- atoms. Both Ga–As bond lengths are 2.73 Å. As3- is bonded to two equivalent Ga3+ and four equivalent As3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing AsGa2As4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are two shorter (2.71 Å) and two longer (2.72 Å) As–As bond lengths.
