Glass is SiO2. There used to be a weed killer, copper arsenate, Cu3(AsO4)2. Germanium is in some semiconductor devices. You woukld do better entering those element names into wikipedia.

Germanium and silicon occupy the comparable column in the periodic chart, so as that they have got comparable valance properties. With suited doping with impurities, they alter into semiconductors. Silicon is often seen to have greater advantageous working features, which includes velocity and thermal sturdiness, so germanium isn't broadly used from now on in transistors and integrated circuits. confident the brink voltage is distinctive: 0.7V for silicon, 0.2V for germanium. So, germanium makes a larger small-sign detector.
