Samarium(III) arsenide is a binary inorganic compound of samarium and arsenic with the chemical formula SmAs.[1][2]
Synthesis
[edit]Samarium arsenide can be synthesised by heating of pure substances in vacuum:
- Sm + As → SmAs
Physical properties
[edit]Samarium arsenide forms crystals of a cubic system,[3] space group Fm3m, cell parameters a = 0.5921 nm, Z = 4, of NaCl-structure.[4][5]
The compound melts congruently at 2257 °C.
Uses
[edit]SmAs is used as a semiconductor and in photo optic applications.[6]
