Dependence of the Product's Phase Composition on the Ratio of Precursors in Plasmadynamic Synthesis of Silicon Carbide

Abstract

In this work, the powder of nanoscale cubic SiC was obtained by the plasmodynamic synthesis in a coaxial magnetoplasma accelerator (CMPA) with a graphite central electrode and an accelerator channel. The synthesis method allows obtaining a product with a high content of nanoscale cubic silicon carbide. The work is aimed to study the influence of the precursor’s ratio on the product. The synthesized products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
