Study of Nanoscale Inhomogeneities in Silicon Carbide Crystals via Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structure of 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC monocrystals’ nanoscale defects was studied by the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method. Analysis of dispersion indicatrices has shown the presence of inhomogeneities in the form of linear fractals in silicon carbide crystals of 6H and 4H polytypes, mass fractals in 6H polytype and inhomogeneities partition’s fractal surface in 4H polytype.
