Germanium is a semiconductor whose electrical resistivity varies with temperature. Alongside silicon, germanium has been widely used in transistors, diodes, and other electronic components.
Today, its ability to transmit infrared light is utilized in optical devices such as infrared cameras and night-vision equipment.
Furthermore, organic germanium is also utilized in the health food sector, such as in supplements.
Germanium is present in trace amounts in ores like zinc and copper, and is recovered through the refining of these ores.
China and Russia are the primary producing countries.
