Hydrothermal Corrosion of Coatings on Silicon Carbide in Boiling Water Reactor Conditions

Functionally Graded Alumina/Mullite Coatings for Protection of Silicon Carbide Ceramic Components from Corrosion

The deposition of carbon from ethylene in the presence of methyl-trichlorosilane or tetrachlorosilane is investigated in this study. Ex-periments are carried out in a hot-wall tubular reactor coupled to amicrobalance for continuous monitoring of the reaction rate. Thingraphite plates and refractory wires are employed as deposition sub-strates. The experimental results sh...

Corrosion Characteristics of Silicon Carbide and Silicon Nitride

The present work is a review of the substantial effort that has been made to measure and understand the effects of corrosion with respect to the properties, performance, and durability of various forms of silicon carbide and silicon nitride. The review encompasses corrosion in diverse environments, usually at temperatures of 1000 °C or higher. The environments include dry and moist oxygen, mixt...

Wetting behavior of water on silicon carbide polar surfaces.

Technically important wide band-gap semiconductors such as GaN, AlN, ZnO and SiC are crystallized in polar structures. Taking SiC as an example, we investigate the effect of surface polarity on the wetting behavior by water using experiments and molecular dynamic simulations. It is found that the contact angle (CA) of deionized water on the carbon-face (C-face) is significantly larger than that...
