Abstract
Plastic-carbon replicas taken off the fracture surfaces of self-bonded SiC were found to have transparent flakes ofβ-SiC attached. Certain of the flakes contained dislocations which were shown to have moved during the fracture process. The dislocations were shown to move on a {111} slip plane and to have a Burgers vectora/2 〈110〉.
