Abstract
A new form of surface stabilization of germanium is discussed. When the germanium is in contact with an electrolyte containing hydrogen peroxide and potassium chloride the surface potential is a linear function of the pH. To within a constant difference its value is equal to the voltage measured between the germanium and a calomel electrode. No current flows through the interface. A new stationary state is obtained in a few minutes after the pH has been changed. The range of surface potentials covered is 360 mv.Keywords
