Abstract

To establish the powder X-ray data we have synthesized gallium selenide (Ga3Se4) using spec. pure elements gallium and selenium of purity >99.999% adopting three different methods as solid melts, quenching, and quenching-annealing. An optimized condition for the synthesis of these materials using evacuated and sealed ampoule has been established. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that Ga3Se4 can only grow at elevated temperature by quenching and long annealing at suitable temperature. The material prepared by quenching-annealing at 500 degrees C over 500 h was identified as single phased polycrystalline Ga3Se4, and crystallizes in the cubic cell with a(o) =5.4531 angstrom, v= 162.155 angstrom(3), D-x = 5.375 g/cm(3), Z = 1, parameter of atoms Z(Ga) = 3, Z(Se) =4 and space group F43m. The low values of dielectric constant and dielectric loss confirm that the specimen has very low density of defects. Negative dielectric constant has been found.
