Germanium telluride (GeTe2)

Description:
Germanium telluride (GeTe2) is a binary compound composed of germanium and tellurium, notable for its unique properties and applications in various fields. It typically appears as a grayish crystalline solid and exhibits a rhombohedral crystal structure. GeTe2 is a semiconductor with a narrow bandgap, making it useful in thermoelectric materials and phase-change memory applications. Its thermal and electrical conductivity can be influenced by temperature and composition, allowing for tunable properties. The compound is also known for its high optical transparency in the infrared region, which is advantageous in optoelectronic devices. GeTe2 can undergo phase transitions, which are of interest in the study of solid-state physics. Additionally, it is relatively stable under ambient conditions but can react with strong acids or bases. Due to its semiconductor characteristics, GeTe2 is often explored in the context of advanced materials for electronics and energy conversion technologies. Overall, its combination of electrical, thermal, and optical properties makes germanium telluride a significant material in modern technology.
