Germanium is classified as a metalloid and is used as a semiconductor. It has good brittleness and is very stable in air at room temperature. Since germanium is a semiconductor, its electrical conductivity at room temperature is very low. However, as the temperature increases, it rises significantly. The metal is insoluble in alkalis, hydrochloric acid, or dilute sulfuric acid. It dissolves only in concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid.
Pure germanium is available in the Evek GmbH online shop. Our germanium price is always up to date. You can trust us.
As a semiconductor, germanium is mainly used in electronics. Thus, together with silicon, it is used as a compound semiconductor in high-frequency technology. It is also used as a radiation (X-ray) detector. The metal is used in infrared optics and in the manufacture of light waveguides. In addition, it is in demand in nuclear medicine and nuclear technology.
The main applications of germanium are in:
- Electronics (high-frequency engineering, detector technology);
- Infrared optics (glasses and optical fiber);
- Nuclear medicine and nuclear technology;
- Dietary supplements (for cancer, high blood pressure, arthritis, and food allergies).
The following properties characterize germanium:
- good brittleness;
- resistance to air;
- insoluble in alkalis, hydrochloric acid, or dilute sulfuric acid;
- soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid;
- semiconductor.
