gap

Gallium phosphide (GaP), a phosphide of gallium, is a compound semiconductor material with an indirect band gap of 2.24 eV at room temperature. Impure polycrystalline material has the appearance of pale orange or grayish pieces. Undoped single crystals are orange, but strongly doped wafers appear darker due to free-carrier absorption. It is odorless and insoluble in water.
GaP has a microhardness of 9450 N/mm2, a Debye temperature of 446 K (173 °C), and a thermal expansion coefficient of 5.3 ×10−6 K−1 at room temperature. Sulfur, silicon or tellurium are used as dopants to produce n-type semiconductors. Zinc is used as a dopant for the p-type semiconductor.
Gallium phosphide has applications in optical systems. Its static dielectric constant is 11.1 at room temperature. Its refractive index varies between ~3.2 and 5.0 across the visible range, which is higher than in most other semiconducting materials. In its transparent range, its index is higher than almost any other transparent material, including gemstones such as diamond, or non-oxide lenses such as zinc sulfide.

    Septic gases in crawl space from gap in pipe.

    A family member had a sewer line collapse, which brought to light several issues with their plumbing. There is a 1/4 gap in the sewer line where a 3 inch pipe and 90 sits on another 4 inch 90 going into the ground. How concerned should this family member be about septic gases in the crawl space?

    Large gap discovered when resealing shower tray

    I have encountered a problem. My shower tray was leaking and I found out it was because the tray was flexing and causing a gap at the seal.
