GdGeO3

Gadolinium germanate (GdGeO3) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining rare-earth gadolinium with germanium oxide, typically synthesized for specialized optical and electronic applications. This material is primarily of research and emerging-technology interest rather than mature industrial production, with investigation focused on its potential as a photonic crystal component, optical waveguide medium, and luminescent host material in the photonics and solid-state device sectors. GdGeO3 is notable within the rare-earth germanate family for its combination of optical transparency and thermal stability, positioning it as a candidate for high-temperature photonic devices and potential scintillator applications where conventional silicates or oxides face limitations.
