Germanium telluride (GeTe) is a chemical compound of germanium and tellurium and is a component of chalcogenide glasses. It shows semimetallic conduction and ferroelectric behaviour.Germanium telluride exists in three major crystalline forms room-temperature α (rhombohedral) and γ (orthorhombic) structures and high-temperature β (cubic rocksalt-type) phase; α phase being most phase for pure GeTe below the ferroelectric Curie temperature of approximately 670 K.
