Mica is a mineral that can take several forms, but is usually a silicate. It is remarkable for its highly uniform basal cleavage, and that allows it to be separated into thin layers with ease.

It has found use in the electronics industry as an electrical insulator in capacitors and under semiconductor devices. It is also commonly used as the "window" through which microwave energy enters the cavity (the cooking area) of a microwave oven. It is also used as a window in Geiger-Müller tubes and as a window in some heaters. Use the link below for more information.
