Quantification of irradiation defects in beta-silicon carbide using Raman spectroscopy
Abstract
Raman spectra from polycrystalline beta-silicon carbide (SiC) were collected following neutron irradiation at 380–1180 °C to 0.011–1.87 displacement per atom. The longitudinal optical (LO) peak shifted to a lower frequency and broadened as a result of the irradiation. The changes observed in the LO phonon line shape and position in neutron-irradiated SiC are explained by a combination of changes in the lattice constant and Young's modulus, and the phonon confinement effect. The phonon confinement model reasonably estimates the defect-defect distance in the irradiated SiC, which is consistent with results from previous experimental studies and simulations.
