Silicon (Si)

Silicon yana da launin shuɗi-launin toka. Yana da mafi girman kewayon watsawa na 3 - 5 µm akan jimillar kewayon watsawa na 1.2 - 8 µm. Saboda high thermal conductivity da low yawa, shi ya dace da Laser madubi da Tantancewar tacewa. Hakanan ana amfani da manyan tubalan silicon tare da goge saman a matsayin makasudin neutron a gwaje-gwajen kimiyyar lissafi. Si yana da ƙarancin farashi kuma abu mara nauyi, ba shi da ƙarancin yawa fiye da Ge ko ZnSe & yana da irin wannan nau'in zuwa gilashin gani, don haka ana iya amfani dashi a wasu yanayi inda nauyi ke da damuwa. Ana ba da shawarar suturar AR don yawancin aikace-aikace. Silicon yana girma ta hanyar Czochralski na jan hankali (CZ) kuma ya ƙunshi wasu iskar oxygen wanda ke haifar da bandeji mai ƙarfi a 9 µm, don haka bai dace da amfani da CO ba.₂Laser watsa aikace-aikace. Don kauce wa wannan, Silicon za a iya shirya ta hanyar Float-Zone (FZ).
