  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. Zerodur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerodur

    Zerodur. Opening of the ELT secondary mirror ZERODUR® blank mould containing the glass at first annealing at the Schott AG 4-meter blank annealing facility in Mainz, Germany. [1] Zerodur is a lithium- aluminosilicate glass-ceramic manufactured by Schott AG. Zerodur has a near zero coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and is used for high ...

  4. Ultra low expansion glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_low_expansion_glass

    Diagram of process of making ULE glass. The way that ULE is made is very different from the standard way that glass is made. Instead of mixing powdered materials together into a batch, melting that batch and pouring out sheets of glass, ULE, being such a high temperature glass, has to be made in a flame hydrolysis process.

  5. Glass fusing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_fusing

    Fused and kiln-formed glass sculpture. Glass fusing is the joining together of pieces of glass at high temperature, usually in a kiln. [1] [2] This is usually done roughly between 700 °C (1,292 °F) and 820 °C (1,510 °F), [3] [4] and can range from tack fusing at lower temperatures, in which separate pieces of glass stick together but still retain their individual shapes, [5] to full fusing ...

  6. Cuvette - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuvette

    Cuvette. In laboratories, a cuvette (French: cuvette, lit. 'little vessel') is a small tube-like container with straight sides and a circular or square cross-section. It is sealed at one end, and made of a clear, transparent material such as plastic, glass, or fused quartz. Cuvettes are designed to hold samples for spectroscopic measurement ...

  7. List of physical properties of glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical...

    Unless stated otherwise, the properties of fused silica (quartz glass) and germania glass are derived from the SciGlass glass database by forming the arithmetic mean of all the experimental values from different authors (in general more than 10 independent sources for quartz glass and T g of germanium oxide glass). The list is not exhaustive.

  8. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

    The small diagonal cylinder at the bottom of the arc tube is a resistor which supplies current to the starter electrode. A mercury-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light. [1] The arc discharge is generally confined to a small fused quartz arc tube mounted within a larger soda lime ...

  9. 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 ...
