Let me give this a try for GaAs MESFET models.
However, this is nowhere a complete list!
First, some definitions :-)

A recent survey paper is

@article{Vendelin90,
  author="G. D. Vendelin90,
  title="Evaluating Nolinear Models for Microwave {GaAsFETs}",
  journal=ieeespt, year=1990, pages={48--50}, month="September"
}

It contains a table of commercial available simulation tools for GaAs
MESFET designs. Five GaAs MESFET models are mentioned. They are

(1) Statz-Pucel's (Raytheon) Model:
--------------------------------------

  title="Signal and Noise Properties of {GaAs} Microwave Fiels Effect\
    Transistors",

  title="Ga{A}s {FET} Device and Circuit SImulation in {SPICE}",
  journal=ieeeted, year=1987, volume="ED-34", number=2, pages={160--169}}

(2) Curtice's Model:
--------------------------------------
@article{Curtice88,
  author="W. R. Curtice",
  title="{GaAs MESFET} Modeling and Nonlinear {CAD}",
  journal=ieeetmtt, year=1988, volume="MTT-36", number=2, pages={220--230}}

(3) Kacprzak-Materka's Model:
--------------------------------------

  title="Compact dc Model of {GaAs MESFET}'s for Large-Signal Computer\
    Calculation"
  journal=ieeejssc, year=1983, volume="SC-18", number=2, pages={211-213}
}

(4) T.O.M. (TriQuint) Model:
--------------------------------------
Described briefly in
@article{McCamant90,

  title="An Improved Ga{A}s {MESFET} Model for {SPICE}",
  journal=ieeetmtt, year=1990, volume="MTT-38", number=6, pages={822--824}}

(5) Trew's (N.C. State Univ.) Model:
--------------------------------------
@article{Golio85,
  author="J. M. Golio and J. R. Hauser and P. A. Blakey",
  title="A Large-Signal {GaAS MESFET} Model Implemented on {SPICE}",

  year=1985, pages={21--30} month="September"}

and recently,

@article{Khatibzadeh88,
  author="M. Khatibzadeh and R. J. Trew",
  title="A Large-Signal, Analytic Model for the {GaAs MESFET",

@article{Trew90,
  author="R. T. Trew",
  title="{MESFET} Models for Microwave Computer-Aided Design",
  journal="Microwave Journal", year=1990, pages={115-130}, month="May"}
--------------------------------------
I'll add just two more. You could find a lot more in the references in
these papers...

(6) Larson's Model:
--------------------------------------
@article{Larson87,
  author="L. E. Larson",
  title="An Improved {GaAs MESFET} Equivalent Circuit Model for Analog\
    Integrated Circuit Application",
  journal=ieeejssc, year=1987, volume="SC-22", number=4, pages={567--574}
}

2. Hyun-Shur's Model:
--------------------------------------
@article{Hyun86,
  author="C. H. Hyun and M. S. shur and N. C. Cirillo, Jr.",
  title="Simulation and Design Analysis of {(AlGa)As/GaAs MODFET} Integrated\
    Circuit",
  journal=ieeetcad, year=1986, volume="CAD-5", number=2, pages={284--292}
}

Hope this helps,
