Gallium selenide (Ga₂Se₃) is a III-VI semiconductor compound belonging to the gallium chalcogenide family, characterized by a layered crystal structure similar to other gallium selenides. While primarily a research material rather than a commodity semiconductor, Ga₂Se₃ is investigated for optoelectronic and photonic applications due to its direct bandgap and strong light-matter interaction, with potential advantages in mid-infrared detection, nonlinear optical devices, and thin-film photovoltaics where traditional semiconductors face limitations.
