Abstract

Raman spectra have been obtained from commercially produced silicon carbide fibres. These fibres contain significant amounts of carbon and silica. Two types of observation have been made. In the first case fibre sections were examined to determine the size of the graphitic microcrystals. Secondly, since it is known that the Raman bands of certain types of fibre including carbon fibres exhibit strain dependence, the effect of strain on the graphitic component of silicon carbide fibres has been examined.
