The team subjected wurtzite gallium arsenide to up to about 227000 times normal atmospheric pressure (23 gigapascals) in diamond anvil cells.
Significantly they discovered that around 207000 times normal atmospheric pressure (21 gigapascals) the wurtzite gallium arsenide nanowires underwent a structural change that induced a new phase the so-called orthorhombic one
but resulting in significant differences in the size of the'band gap'between the two crystalline structures of gallium arsenide suggests that both types of Gaas structures could theoretically be incorporated into a single device
