Abstract

It has been shown that on heating germanium crystals in hydrogen or in vacuum at temperatures 570°–850°C, deterioration of the 111 planes takes place. Temperature gradients and adsorbed impurities are the probable causes of the deterioration. Impurities cause the formation of etch‐ and growth‐structures which in their absence would be unstable.
