What is Gallium?
Gallium is a chemical compound with CAS number 7440-55-3 and molecular formula Ga. It is used in various industrial and research applications.
Applications
The wide liquid range of gallium was exploited recently when it was used as a solvent for the successful synthesis of ternary silicides, SmNiSi3 and YNiSi3, without incorporating Ga in their structure -- a promising new synthetic method.1
