The germanium bar is a light gray metal with a purity of more than 99.9%. According to X-ray research, the arrangement of atoms in germanium crystals is similar to that of diamond. Structure determines performance, so like diamond, germanium bars are hard and brittle. Germanium is very scattered, and there is almost no concentrated germanium ore. Therefore, it is called "sparse metal". |
