Question 1 (30 points) Gallium arsenide (GaAs) has a zincblende structure. Its lattice constant is 5.65 Å (1 Å = 1×10–8 cm). (a) How many arsenic atoms the unit cell below contains? Please show your calculation. How many gallium atoms does the unit cell contain? (8 points) (b) On its (100), what is the atomic density of arsenic atoms? That is, how many arsenic atoms are there on a 1-cm2 area? Show your procedure to obtain this number. The unit should be atoms/cm2. (7 points) (c) Determine the atomic density of gallium arsenide in atoms/cm3, that is, the total number of gallium and arsenic atoms in a 1-cm3 volume. (7 points) (d) If the atomic mass unit (AMU) of gallium and arsenic atoms are 69.7 and 74.9, respectively (1 AMU = 1.6605 × 10–24 grams), what is the density of gallium arsenide in grams/cm3.
