Discovery

1860 by r. Bunsen and G.R. Kirchhoff (Germany, HaiDeEr fort) found.

Source

Exist in cs garnet [(Cs4Al4Si9O26). H2O], there is very little in lithium mica.

Element USES

As air to remove agent, used to remove the vacuum tube of trace air. Because it is easy to ionization, be used as ion rocket engine, also used to test, atomic clocks and infrared lamp.
