Aluminium arsenide properties

Aluminium Arsenide (AlAs). Only a small amount of reliable data exists on the transport properties of AlAs. Most results are extrapolations from data obtained from the technologically more important solid solutions of type Al cGai jAs. At roomtemperature, values of the electrical conductivity of around 10f2 cm have been found. 

Uranous Antimonide, UgSb4, is not obtained by the ordinary methods used for the arsenide (see p. 332). By fusing a mixture of sodium uranous chloride, antimony, and aluminium Colani obtained a silvery white mass practically free from aluminium. The product resembled the phosphide and arsenide in properties, and produced vivid sparks when projected into the Bunsen flame.
