Definition of germanium in English:

germanium

noun dʒəːˈmeɪnɪəmˌdʒərˈmeɪniəm

mass noun

The chemical element of atomic number 32, a shiny grey metalloid. Germanium was important in the making of transistors and other semiconductor devices, but has been largely replaced by silicon.
Example sentencesExamples
- Improving the performance of silicon transistors and circuits by adding another semiconductor material is one approach, and silicon germanium is the most popular of the new materials.
- By forcing crystals of germanium or silicon to grow with impurities such as boron or phosphorus, the crystals gain entirely different electrical conductive properties.
- Microprocessors are fabricated on a single crystal of a semiconducting material such as silicon or germanium.
- Recently, alloys of gadolinium, germanium and silicon have produces a much larger effect size of 3 to 4°C per Tesla change.
- Rorrer's lab aims to incorporate elements such as silicon, germanium, titanium, and gallium into the diatoms' silica shells.

Origin

Late 19th century: modern Latin, from Latin Germanus (see German).

Rhymes

cranium, geranium, Herculaneum, titanium, uranium
