Gallium (Ga) has two naturally-occurring stable isotopes: 69Ga (60.1%) and 71Ga (39.9%). Their isotopic ratios were employed as a potential proxy to trace the geochemical behavior of Ga and its analogue Al. Ga is also an important component of many semiconductors. When exposed to aqueous solutions,...
