Abstract

Atomistic structures of amorphous silicon carbide generated by energetic particles were examined by electron diffraction techniques in combination with imaging plates. Atomic pair distribution functions revealed that not only heteronuclear (silicon-carbon) bonds but also homonuclear (silicon-silicon and carbon-carbon) bonds exist in the first coordination shell of amorphous silicon carbide induced by ion- or electron-beam-irradiation. Structural changes from amorphous silicon carbide to amorphous silicon were observed under the electron irradiation.
