Silicon Carbide Crystal Structure Model
SKU: 68766W
The Indigo® silicon carbide crystal model illustrates moissanite for geology while also showing SiC polytypes used in teaching semiconductors, photonics, and materials science.
The Indigo® silicon carbide crystal model demonstrates the structure of moissanite, a naturally occurring mineral of geological interest, and introduces students to the unique lattice arrangements that define SiC. Known for its hardness, silicon carbide has long been used as an abrasive in grinding and sharpening. Beyond geology, this model helps learners visualize the atomic bonding that underpins SiC’s exceptional thermal conductivity and durability, making it a material of choice in advanced technologies.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
