unusual facts about Germanium


Tetraethylgermanium

Tetraethylgermanium (common name tetraethyl germanium), abbreviated TEG, is an organogermanium compound with the formula (Ge.


Alloy-junction transistor

The post-alloy diffused transistor (PADT), or post-alloy diffused-base transistor, was developed by Philips (but GE and RCA filed for patent and Jacques Pankove of RCA received patent for it) as an improvement to the germanium alloy-junction transistor, it offered even higher speed.

Atomic layer deposition

Although the selection of film materials grown by ALD is wide, many technologically important materials (Si, Ge, Attenuated total reflectance

Water-soluble proteins to be investigated require Polyhistidine-tags, allowing the macromolecule to be anchored to a lipid bilayer, which is attached to a Germanium crystal or other suitable optical media.

Float-zone silicon

The process was developed at Bell Labs by Henry Theuerer in 1955 as a modification of a method developed by William Gardner Pfann for germanium.

Germanium oxide

Germanium monoxide, GeO, a stable but not well characterised compound containing germanium(II)

Germanium dioxide, GeO2, the best known and most commonly encountered oxide of germanium containing germanium(IV).

Mbozi meteorite

The Germanium-Gallium ratio is larger than 10, which can also be seen in meteorites of the IIF iron meteorite group and the Eagle station pallasites.

Metal-induced gap states

Tersoff showed that the experimentally measured phi bp fits his theoretical model for Au in contact with 10 common semiconductors, including Si, Ge, GaP, and GaAs.

The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night

The album was tracked and recorded at the band's own studio, Breakglass Studio, using a 1968 Neve germanium mixing console rumoured to have been used to record portions of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, and introduces some new instrumentation for the band: 12 string guitar, flute, omnichord, and mellotron.

Volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit

As a class, they represent a significant source of the world's Cu, Zn, Pb, Au, and Ag ores, with Co, Sn, Ba, S, Se, Mn, Cd, In, Bi, Te, Ga and Ge as co- or by-products.
