Abstract
The anomal transmission of CuK radiation through "thick"' perfect crystal slices of Germanium is strongly temperature dependent. This temperature dependence was measured between 293 and 6 K in the (220) symmetric Laue case and used to evaluate the Debye temperature θM . The wellknown uncorrected value θ′M = 290K was obtained near room temperature. Taking into account TDS and Compton scattering in addition to the photoelectric absorption the corrected value θM = 294 or 296 K was found, depending on the source of data. With decreasing temperature the corrected θM increases slightly up to a maximum at very low temperatures, as predicted by Batterman and Chipman and by Salter.
