The kinetics of vaporization of gallium arsenide single crystals into vacuum have been investigated using microbalance and mass spectrometric techniques in the temperature range 700–900° C. Although gallium arsenide vaporized incongruently to yield liquid gallium and arsenic vapor molecules, initial steady state evaporation rates can be obtained in the temperature range of study. The total evaporation rates and the activation energies of vaporization were found to be the same for both (111) and (1¯1¯1¯) faces. The initial vacuum vaporization rates of gallium arsenide single crystals are lower than the maximum rates calculated from equilibrium vapor pressures by about a factor of six and the activation energy of vaporization is Δ H*=90±3 kcal/mole. When excess gallium liquid was placed on top of the vaporizing surface, the rate increased by a factor of 2 while the activation energy remained virtually unchanged. Both Te‐doped and Zn‐doped GaAs samples have lower evaporation rates than the pure gallium arsen...
