Phosphide

Local golf courses are using rodent oat bait containing zinc phosphide, which is toxic and poisonous to humans and animals. ❋ Susan Klein Vail, CO, Colorado Newsroom@vaildaily. (2009)

Using concentrated sunlight focused onto a small 5 mm² multi-junction solar cell made out of GaInP/GaInAs/Ge (gallium indium phosphide, gallium indium arsenide on a germanium substrate (whew!)). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Poisons like Compound 1080 and zinc phosphide can take hours or even days to take effect -- a prolonged, agonizing death. ❋ Wendy Keefover-Ring (2011)

One difference is that Intel is constructing lasers as well as other optical components from silicon — though aided with indium phosphide — a tricky task that the company argues is essential for making optical connections that will be affordable for consumer products. ❋ Don Clark (2010)

Many optical components are typically constructed using materials such as gallium arsenide and indium phosphide. ❋ Don Clark (2010)

Gallium arsenide can be used to make photovoltaic cells and LCDs in place of indium phosphide. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The breakthrough was achieved by bonding a layer of light-emitting indium phosphide onto the surface of a standard silicon chip etched with special channels that act as light-wave guides. ❋ Unknown (2006)

But Mr. Young contends that Luxtera researchers actually were the first to top the performance of indium-phosphide photo detectors in research results published more than a year ago. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Intel said the development marks the first time that a silicon-based optical component exceeded the performance of an equivalent device made from more costly conventional materials, such as indium phosphide. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Indium, as indium phosphide, is used to make photovoltaic devices (devices that transform light energy into electricity), semi-conductors, high-speed transistors, specialized solders and metal alloys. ❋ Unknown (2008)

IBM will build the new chipset by combining standard CMOS complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology, and optical components made from materials such as indium phosphide and gallium arsenide. ❋ Martyn Daniels (2007)

For instance, in one experiment, the Lund team made trunks out of gallium phosphide and parts of the branches out of gallium arsenide phosphide. ❋ Unknown (2004)

The researchers expect combinations of materials such as these to produce a light-emitting diode: The trunk would carry current to the branches, where the gallium arsenide phosphide would convert it into light. ❋ Unknown (2004)

They died soon after pellets of aluminum phosphide, which mixes with ground water to form a toxic gas, were buried in their enclosure to control a rat problem. ❋ Unknown (2003)

Resembling a stack of different-colored pancakes, these striped nanowires -- just 20 billionths of a meter wide -- are formed by combining semiconductors such as indium arsenide and indium phosphide in layers of particular thicknesses. ❋ Lakshmi Sandhana (2002)

In photodiodes inorganic semiconductors such as gallium phosphide are traditionally used, but now one can also use semiconductive polymers. ❋ Unknown (2000)

It is also possible to fumigate the burrows with 5-10 aluminum phosphide tablets per burrow system, but care must be taken to close all entrances to the burrow system except the one to be treated. ❋ Unknown (1996)
