Mechanical Properties of Amorphous Silicon Carbide

Excellent physical and chemical properties make silicon carbide (SiC) a prominent candidate for a variety of applications, including high-temperature, high-power, and high-frequency and optoelectronic devices, structural component in fusion reactors, cladding material for gas-cooled fission reactors, and an inert matrix for the transmutation of Pu(Katoh, Y. et al., 2007; Snead, L. L. et al., 20...

Preliminary radiation tests of 32mm thick hydrogenated amorphous silicon films

Preliminary radiation tests of hydrogenated amorphous silicon n–i–p photodiodes deposited on a coated glass substrate are presented in this paper. These tests have been performed using a 24GeV proton beam. We report results on the fluence dependence of the diode dark current and of the signal induced by a proton spill.
