I-Sapphire ingenye yezinto ezibonakalayo ezinzima kakhulu ezinhlelweni zobunjiniyela.I-transparent monocrystalline alumina (Al2O3) sapphire iphinde inikeze ngezakhiwo ezishisayo ezishisayo uma kuqhathaniswa cishe nazo zonke ezinye izinto zewindi ezisetshenziswa ekucubunguleni kwe-HV/UHV.
Amandla okucindezela acishe abe ngu-2000 MPa namandla okugoba afika ku-400 MPa kuyizakhiwo ezijwayelekile zamasafire.Imibono yesafire yaziwa njengenzima kakhulu futhi isebenzisa i-Yang's modulus (-350 GPa) enhle kakhulu yezinto ezibonakalayo, esiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isilinganiso sokucindezeleka sepuleti lengilazi silungele ukusebenza ngaphansi kwengcindezi ye-trillionth eyodwa ye-oda lobukhulu umfutho womkhathi.
Ngezicelo zokwelashwa kwe-vacuum yokushisa okuphezulu, izindawo zokubuka zesafire nazo zifanelekile.Izicelo ezinjalo zingabandakanya i-physical vapor deposition (PVD).Ifasitelana lifakazelwe ukuthi likwazi ukumelana namazinga okushisa okusebenza okuqhubekayo ebangeni elingu-400 degrees C (752 degrees C), nakuba lo mkhawulo ukhawulelwe esakhiweni segumbi.Isafire iyodwa ingakwazi ukumelana namazinga okushisa afika ku-1800 degrees C (3272 degrees F).
Noma kunjalo, kunezinye izinto eziningi ezihlukile zokubuka ezingase zisetshenziswe ezinhlelweni ezifana nokwelashwa ngokucindezela nokushisa.Inzuzo eyinhloko yesafire ngaphezu kwezinye izinhlobo zefasitela ukuthi impahla inokudlulisa ukukhanya okuhle kakhulu.
Ngobude begagasi obukhanyayo obuphakathi kuka-150 no-5500 nanometers (nm), indawo yokubuka yesafire ibonakala ngale, ihlanganisa inombolo enkulu ye-ultraviolet (UV) kanye ne-spectra ebonakalayo, futhi inwetshwe kahle kakhulu kububanzi obuseduze kwe-infrared (IR).Qinisekisa ukubhekwa okuphelele kwezimo zokucutshungulwa kwe-HV/UHV ngaphandle kwesidingo sokumbozwa okwengeziwe.
Izakhiwo zemishini ezingenakuqhathaniswa zeSapphire ziwukhiye ekufinyeleleni le khwalithi yokudlulisela enhle kakhulu, njengoba ukuqedwa kahle kwendawo kungase kuthinte ngokuphawulekayo ukudluliswa kwe-wavelength, ikakhulukazi emisebeni yamaza amafushane.
ISapphire iyinto yesithathu enzima kakhulu kwezobunjiniyela emhlabeni wethu, eqinisekisa ukumelana nokuklwebheka okumangalisayo nokumelana nokugqokwa.Ngenxa yalobu bunzima, indawo yokubuka yesafire igcina izakhiwo zayo zokudlulisa ngemva kokufakwa ukuze zisetshenziswe isikhathi eside ezindaweni zokucubungula ezinzima.
