Effect of low energy electron beam irradiation on Shockley partial dislocations bounding stacking faults introduced by plastic deformation in 4H-SiC in its brittle temperature range
The effect of low energy electron beam irradiation (LEEBI) on Shockley-type stacking faults in 4H-SiC has been studied. New stacking faults are created and expanded under LEEBI while those introduced by plastic deformation do not change. Stacking faults introduced in 4H-Si under deformation and by LEEBI are dragged by partial dislocations of different types.
