Optical crystals are transparent in different spectral regions, depending upon the crystal material. Learn More

Crystals are naturally occurring materials that can be induced to resonate (vibrate) at an exact frequency. Quartz, a piezoelectric crystal that provides excellent mechanical and electrical stability, acquires a charge when compressed, twisted, or distorted. Search by Specification | Learn More

Crystal filters are electronic filters that use monolithic crystals. Learn More

...mechanical stresses and crystal-lattice dislocations than within the chip. Since these contribute to noise and long-term instability, the buried breakdown diode is less noisy and much more stable than surface Zeners. This is the preferred on-chip... Search by Specification | Learn More

...of elasticity is a material constant that indicates the variation of strain produced under an applied tensile load. Average crystal size measures the individual grains or crystals within the microstructure of a polycrystalline material. Density is the mass... Search by Specification | Learn More

X-ray diffraction instruments are used to measure crystal structure, grain size, texture and/or residual stress of materials and compounds through interaction of the X-ray beam with a sample. Search by Specification | Learn More

For both types of devices, an active component (normally, in the feedback loop) determines the frequency of oscillation. This active component can be either an electronic circuit or a crystal. Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) and voltage-controlled... Search by Specification | Learn More

Grates and grating materials consist of a metal or fiberglass lattice that provides a slip-resistant or semi-open surface. Learn More

Resonators are frequency-selective electronic circuits that can produce a fixed (resonant) frequency when properly excited. The value of the resonant frequency depends on the circuit’s components (e.g., inductors, resistors, capacitors, crystals Search by Specification | Learn More

...seals to choose from when packing, these seals are: braid-over-braid; braid-over-core; laminated; multi-braid / lattice; plaited / square-braid; twisted; and wrapped, rolled and folded. Braid-over-braid construction, also referred to as jacket-over... Search by Specification | Learn More

Semiconductor doping, the addition of a very small amount of a foreign substance to a pure semiconductor crystal, provides a semiconductor with an excess of conducting electrons or an excess of conducting holes. The first semiconductors... Learn More

Sapphire materials and sapphire components consist of a single-crystal, ceramic form of aluminum oxide. They have superior hardness, mechanical and optical properties, and are used in jewel bearings, lasing rods, wear parts, wafer substrates Learn More

With single crystal or monocrystal materials, the crystalline framework is homogenous. By contrast, polycrystalline materials are composed of a number of smaller, heterogeneous crystals or crystallites. There are many different types of silica, quartz... Search by Specification | Learn More
