title = "Evaluation of microstructural damage and alteration of polytypes to determine the aging of silicon carbide",
abstract = "Irradiated silicon carbide (SiC) exhibits higher carrier content but a decrease in conductivity with increased irradiation. It was theorized that this conflicting data was due to structural damage due to irradiation. This theory was supported by the fact that non-irradiated 50μm thick SiC is transparent for visible light and the higher the irradiation dose, the material of the same thickness became less transparent. However, changes in microscopy and polyforms observed by transmission electron microscopy in SiC due to irradiation were minor. Although existence of different polymorphs of SiC was documented, direct proof of the proposed theory has not yet been achieved.",
