Mullite vs. Cesium Iodide

Mullite belongs to the oxide-based engineering ceramics classification, while cesium iodide belongs to the non-glass optical ceramics. There are 10 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (18, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is mullite and the bottom bar is cesium iodide.
