2. 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 ...

3. Trinitite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitite

   Trinitite. Trinitite, also known as atomsite or Alamogordo glass, [1][2] is the glassy residue left on the desert floor after the plutonium -based Trinity nuclear bomb test on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. The glass is primarily composed of arkosic sand composed of quartz grains and feldspar (both microcline and smaller amount of ...

4. RCA clean - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_clean

   The RCA clean is a standard set of wafer cleaning steps which need to be performed before high-temperature processing steps (oxidation, diffusion, CVD) of silicon wafers in semiconductor manufacturing. Werner Kern developed the basic procedure in 1965 while working for RCA, the Radio Corporation of America. [1][2][3] It involves the following ...

5. Quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

   Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and compositionally as an oxide mineral. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar. [10] Quartz exists in two forms, the normal α-quartz and the high-temperature β-quartz, both of which are chiral. The transformation ...

6. Glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass

   Fused quartz is a glass made from chemically pure silica. [68] It has very low thermal expansion and excellent resistance to thermal shock , being able to survive immersion in water while red hot, resists high temperatures (1000–1500 °C) and chemical weathering, and is very hard.

7. List of refractive indices - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices

   List of refractive indices. Refraction at interface. Many materials have a well-characterized refractive index, but these indices often depend strongly upon the frequency of light, causing optical dispersion. Standard refractive index measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength (λ) of 589 nanometers.
