Abstract

Organometallic molecules containing covalently linked gallium and arsenic or indium and phosphorus have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray diffraction. These precursors can be transformed into the corresponding III-V materials in a chemical reaction proceeding at ambient temperature. The compound semiconductors prepared in this way are obtained as amorphous powders. During the reaction, quantum size effects may be observed by UV-VIS spectroscopy as the particles grow.
