Germanate single crystals are a series of functional materials for many important applications. Bi_4Ge_3O_(12) (BGO) crystal is an excellent scintillator for applications in high-energy physics, geophysical exploration and medical imaging. As a SAW substrate material, Sr_3Ga_2Ge_4O_(14) (SGG) is an important piezoelectric crystal and has potential applications in portable communications and high-temperature detectors. Pb_5Ge_3O_(11)(PGO) is a hopeful material to fabricate pyroelectric detectors due to its small dielectric constant and a relatively high pyroelectric coefficient in a wide range of temperature, and it can be used in the fields of information storage and light signal processing also. Sr_3Ga_2Ge_4O_(14) (Nd: SGG) is a potential laser crystal for fabrication of high performance solid state laser. Multi-functional crystal Bi_(12)GeO_(20) (BGO) exhibits excellent piezoelectric, photoconductive and electrooptic properties and has found wide applications in various optical and piezoelectric devices. The aim of Bi_4GexSi_(1-x)O_(12) crystal growth is to develop a low-cost inorganic scintillator. In this paper, Bridgman growth of some important germanate single crystals, such as Bi_4Ge_3O_(12) (BGO), Sr_3Ga_2Ge_4O_(14) (SGG), Pb_5Ge_3O_(11) (PGO), Nd: Sr_3Ga_2Ge_4O_(14) (Nd: SGG), Bi_(12)GeO_(20) (BGO) and Bi_4GexSi_(1-x)O_(12), has been reported.
