“…S ILICON carbide (SiC) ceramics have high thermal conductivity, good mechanical strength, and good oxidation resistance that are favorable for structural applications such as fusion reactors, heat exchangers, gas turbines, diesel particulate filters, and hot gas filters. [1][2][3][4] Since SiC ceramics also have a high electrical breakdown field strength and high saturation drift velocity, SiC ceramics are likely to be advantageous for high-temperature, high power, and highfrequency device applications compared to existing Si-based ceramics. [5][6][7] SiC compounds exist in a number of close-packed stacking arrangements (polytypes).…”
