USES OF GALLIUM
HISTORY OF GALLIUM
The French chemist
Paul-Emile Lecoq de
Boisbaudran
discovered gallium in
sphalerite (a zinc-
sulfide mineral) in 1875
using spectroscopy.
It is used in blue-ray
technology, blue and
green LEDs, mobile
phones and pressure
sensors for touch
switches. Gallium
nitride acts as a
semiconductor.
