General description

Germanium(VI) oxide, also known as germania or germanium dioxide, is a white or off-white powder. It is a refractory metal oxide with a high melting point (1,600 °C) and offers excellent chemical resistance. In addition, germanium(VI) oxide has excellent optoelectronic properties that have made it a valuable material in the semiconducting industry. It has a high refractive index of approximately 2.1, which is higher than that of many other semiconductor materials, and a low absorption coefficient. These properties make it useful for applications such as waveguides, antireflective coatings, and high-index contrast coatings. In addition, germanium(VI) has a high bandgap of about 3.1 eV coupled with relatively high transparency in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which makes it useful for applications such as infrared detectors, LEDs, and solar cells.

Application

Building block for inorganic nanowires. Used in the synthesis of ultra-high refractive index and ultra-low loss optical waveguides.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. Can you please check the particle size? I need it to answer the paper revision(until today...), help me please.

    1 answer
    1. The particle size of this material is not determined on a lot-by-lot basis. However, historical data indicates that this material is less than 74 um or -200 mesh.
