· JVASP-18605· GaAu

GaAu is a gold-gallium intermetallic compound or alloy system combining a precious metal (gold) with a semiconductor element (gallium). This material exists primarily in research and specialized metallurgical contexts, as it combines gold's excellent electrical and thermal conductivity with gallium's semiconductor properties, making it of interest for advanced electronic and optoelectronic device fabrication where precious metal contacts or barriers are required.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
