Folks, With small sample sizes, say less than 200, the Normal Distribution needs a correction. William Sealy Gossett discovered this correction, while he worke...
Germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) is a colorless liquid. It is used as an intermediate in the production of purified germanium dioxide and germanium metal.
GeCl4 is transparent to infrared light and therefore useful in optical materials. It is also widely used as a semiconductor and as an alloying agent. Silicon-germanium alloys are used for low-cost, high-speed integrated circuits as well as precision optical components, and germanium tetrachloride is an important dopant material in the manufacturing of optical fibers for telecommunications. A further use of germanium dioxide is as a polymerization catalyst, widely used in Japan for the manufacturing of PET bottles for water.
To learn more about germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4), contact Indium today. Our seasoned team of dedicated engineers is excited to learn about your unique project.
Germanium dioxide (GeO2) is a white powder that is manufactured in both crystalline and amorphous forms. Germanium dioxide’s refractive index (1.7) and its optical dispersion properties make it a useful material for wide-angle lenses and optical microscope lenses. GeO2 is transparent to infrared light.
Germanium dioxide is also used as a catalyst in the manufacturing of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, and for the production of other germanium compounds, phosphors, and semiconductor materials.
Indium Corporation offers recycle and reclaim programs for indium, gallium, germanium, and tin metals, as well as a program for recycling solder and solder dross.
