ABSTRACTAmorphisation of sintered SiC by bombardment with self (C, Si) ions has been studied. Ion doses ranged from 1×1015 to 1×1017 ions/cm2; and ion energy was varied from 0.09 to 5 MeV. Amorphisation was detected by micro-focus Raman scattering. Tribomechanical properties-friction and wear were studied with a high precision pin (steel ball) and disc (implanted) machine. Results show substantial improvements in friction and wear, which persist to a large number of cycles. Tribomechanical properties are shown to correlate with surface amorphisation and carburisation. Carbon ions are found to be much more effective than Si ions (with similar damage distributions) in reducing friction and wear.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has a large number of polytypes of which 3C-, 4H-, 6H-SiC are most common. Since different polytypes have different energy gaps and electrical properties, it is important to identify and characterize various SiC polytypes. Here, Raman scattering is performed on 6H-SiC micro/nanocrystal (MNC) films to investigate all four folded transverse optic (TO) and longitudinal optic (LO) modes. With increasing film thickness, the four folded TO modes exhibit the same frequency downshift, whereas the four folded LO modes show a gradually-reduced downshift. For the same film thickness, all the folded modes show larger frequency downshifts with decreasing MNC size. Based on plasmons on MNCs, these folded modes can be attributed to strong coupling of the folded phonons with plasmons which show different strengths for the different folded modes while changing the film thickness and MNC size. This work provides a useful technique to identify SiC polytypes from Raman scattering.

ABSTRACTNew experimental results obtained with various techniques on a less-studied glass-forming system are presented. At low frequency, a secondary βslow-process, decoupled from the viscous flow, is observed by 3 1P NMR. Raman scattering spectra and coherent neutron scattering spectra has been obtained in wide frequency and temperature ranges showing the same qualitative features for the Boson peak while the quasielastic contribution seems to differ markedly.

This paper is a summary of the experimental study of deep levels in a SiC crystal lattice caused by diffusion welding (DW). Investigations were carried out by DLTS and Kelvin Probe methods. Investigations revealed that DLTS method is not applicable for identification of surface states. Research conducted by the Kelvin Probe method has shown an increase in the density of surface states after the diffusion welding from 2x1015 cm-2 to 3.5x1016 cm-2.
