| | MAGNESIUM GERMANATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Magnesium germanate can be formed by firing the
oxides together at about 900°C.
MgO + GeO2?MgGeO3
This salt has the perovskite structure. The lattice
parameters are: a = 4.9375 ?, c = 13.743 ?,
V = 290.15 ?3. It occurs as the mineral, “majorite”,
with lattice parameters of: a = 11.051 ?, b = 11.051 ?,
c = 11.480 ?, α= β = γ = 90°.
MgGeO3 is polymorphic. It forms several types of
pyroxenes. Pyroxene is one of the important constituent
minerals of the earth’s crust and upper mantle.
, space group = I41/A.
There are four (4) magnesium germanates known as
shown in the following phase diagram of the system,
MgO–GeO2 where each compound can be obtained by
varying the MgO/GeO2 mol ratios before firing
(Fig. 5.55).
MgGeO3 is polymorphic. It forms several types of

minerals of the earth’s crust and upper mantle. | | Uses | Magnesium germanate, when activated by manganese
has long been used in fluorescent lamps. The emission
spectrum of Mg4GeO6:0.01Mn2+
has been found to
depend on the temperature of preparation. |
