ANOMALOUS behaviour of magnesium in gallium arsenide has been reported by Edmond1 and Weisberg et al.2, who found that magnesium behaves as a donor impurity, differing in this respect from zinc, cadmium and mercury. Edmond incorporated 5.7 × 1019 atoms/cm.3 of magnesium in his specimens and found it to be a donor impurity; however, Weisberg found magnesium to be a donor when present at low concentration, but an acceptor at levels higher than 4.4 × 1018 atoms/cm.3. The experimental methods employed by Weisberg are not known to me; however, Edmond prepared his specimens by heating gallium arsenide and magnesium together in sealed silica tubes for 1 hr. at 1,551° K., a small quantity of arsenic being added to prevent decomposition.
