What are the uses of the silicon element in a silicon ball? Let's take a look:

1, pure monocrystalline silicon is an important semiconductor material: in the monocrystalline silicon mixed with a trace amount of group IIIA elements, the formation of p-type silicon semiconductor; Incorporating trace amounts of VA group elements to form n-type and p-type semiconductors combined together, it can be made into solar cells, converting radiant energy into electrical energy. Is a promising material in the development of energy;

2, cermet, important materials for spaceflight: the ceramic and metal mixed sintering, made of cermet composite materials, it is resistant to high temperature, rich in toughness, can be cut, both inherit the respective advantages of metal and ceramics, but also make up for the birth defects of the two;

3, optical fiber communication, modern means of communication: the use of pure silica to pull out high transparency of glass fiber, laser in the glass fiber pathway, multiple times of total reflection forward transmission, instead of bulky cable. Optical fiber communication capacity is high, a hair as thin fiberglass, can transmit 256 lines of telephone at the same time. Kangxin International Metallurgy
