  2. Quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

    A synthetic quartz crystal grown by the hydrothermal method, about 19 centimetres (7.5 in) long and weighing about 127 grams (4.5 oz) Not all varieties of quartz are naturally occurring. Some clear quartz crystals can be treated using heat or gamma-irradiation to induce color where it would not otherwise have occurred naturally. Susceptibility ...

  3. Fused quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

    Fused quartz, fused silica or quartz glass is a glass consisting of almost pure silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) in amorphous (non- crystalline) form. This differs from all other commercial glasses, such as soda-lime glass, lead glass, or borosilicate glass, in which other ingredients are added which change the glasses' optical and physical ...

  4. Hydrothermal synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_synthesis

    t. e. A synthetic quartz crystal grown by the hydrothermal method. Hydrothermal synthesis includes the various techniques of crystallizing substances from high-temperature aqueous solutions at high vapor pressures; also termed "hydrothermal method". The term "hydrothermal" is of geologic origin. [1] Geochemists and mineralogists have studied ...

  5. Silicon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide

    Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO 2, commonly found in nature as quartz. [5] [6] In many parts of the world, silica is the major constituent of sand.

  6. Engineered stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone

    Engineered stone. Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive to create a solid surface. The adhesive is most commonly polymer resin, with some newer versions using cement mix. This category includes engineered quartz (SiO 2), polymer concrete and engineered marble stone. [1]

  7. Cristobalite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristobalite

    Cristobalite spherulites formed by devitrification from the obsidian matrix. Specimen from California, US; size: 5.9 cm × 3.8 cm × 3.8 cm (2.3 in × 1.5 in × 1.5 in). Cristobalite (/ krɪˈstoʊbəˌlaɪt /) is a mineral polymorph of silica that is formed at very high temperatures. It has the same chemical formula as quartz, SiO 2, but a ...

  8. Quartz fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_fiber

    Quartz fiber is a fiber created from high-purity quartz crystals. [1][2] It is made by first softening quartz rods (in an oxyhydrogen flame) [3] and then creating filaments from the rods. [4] Since the creation of high-purity quartz crystals is an energy intensive process, quartz fiber is more expensive than alternatives (glass fiber and high ...

  9. Crystal oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

    A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses a piezoelectric crystal as a frequency-selective element. [1] [2] [3] The oscillator frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers.
