    Gallium, to most, is considered to be a very interesting metal. It has an incredibly low melting point, lower than the average temperature of the human body, which means it can melt in one’s hands. However, its boiling point is at a much higher temperature, much higher than one might expect. These properties, coupled with the fact that one can touch gallium without any side effects, make gallium an intriguing element, to say the least. On the periodic table, gallium’s symbol is Ga and its atomic

    quality recently revitalized the research effort on ZnO, particularly with the aim of obtaining effective devices for optoelectronics in the blue and near ultraviolet, in complement gallium nitride. For this purpose, the main advantage of ZnO GaN is a lower cost, enabled by the relative abundance of zinc over gallium. Zinc oxide powder is also used as an additive in numerous products, for example plastics, ceramics, paints, pigments, cosmetics, etc. In material science, another major benefit of zinc

    The discovery of such an element as gallium does not come as just any accidental discovery. Gallium or Ga, atomic number 31 was in a long research process for fifteen years by Lecoq de Boisbaudran. He had been meticulously studying the spectra of several chemical elements, Lecoq knew that each and every element produces its very own and distinct pattern of lines when heated, or spectra. As Lecoq de Boisbaudran continued his drive to learn more of the distinct element spectra, he distinguished that

    The earth intercepts over 173 thousand terawatts of energy. Solar cells offer a means to harness this energy by converting solar energy into electrical energy. While some may argue that solar energy is an inconsistent energy source, research is being poured into creating more efficient solar cells so that when light is incident on the solar cell, the solar cells operate at their highest possible efficiency levels. Currently, the most efficient solar cells convert 34.5% of sunlight to energy. With

    The existence of Gallium was proposed in 1871 by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who named it, based on its position in the periodic table, “eka-aluminum”. He also predicted it’s melting point, density, oxide character and bonding in chloride, that were all similar to the real properties of Gallium. Gallium was discovered by the French chemist Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1875 in an examination of a sphalerite sample, and found it by its characteristic spectrum, its two violet lines. Lecoq

    including Shuji Nakamura, Hiroshi Amano, and Isamu Akasaki. In the year 1972, the blue LED was created by Herbert Paul Maruska. The latter has used gallium nitride (GaN) on a sapphire substrate (Thompson & Holonyak, 1981). However, the first blue lights denoted inefficiency and did not produce enough light. In the year 1990, Amano and Alaska established Gallium Nitride (GaN) LED at Nagoya University (Akasaki & Amano, 2006). In fact, these developments have transformed lighting of the 21st century, where
