Sorry, my Google-Fu cannot find any' reference...
Silicon has stable isotopes '28' ~92%, '29' ~5% and '30' ~3%.
Oxygen has stable isotope '16' at >99 %, so effectively mono-isotopic.
Do the three Si isotopes have significant effect on melting point etc of their silica SiO2 ??
For a 'world-build' (*), I'm trying to figure how pure silica window(s) might be reinforced with pure silica fibre mesh / web. Without none-silica interlayer(s) or adhesive...
*) Sounded 'plausible' until third read-through prompted, 'Huh ??'
