Abstract

Two-dimensional silicon carbide has potential application in electronics and photonics fields due to its unique properties. The evolution characteristics of the two-dimensional structure in silicon carbide substrates with different external temperature has not been reported. The influence of vacancy defects and processing defects on the formation of two-dimensional structures are investigated. The two-dimensional structural evolution, coordination numbers, bond lengths and bond angles features, are mainly discussed. Investigation results show that the 6H-SiC has excellent thermal stability. Honeycomb layered two-dimensional structures with one atomic layered thickness is formed in 6H-SiC with extremely high temperature at 3500 K. The two-dimensional layered structure is originated from Si-C bilayer in 6H-SiC. The presence of vacancy and processing defects inhibits the two-dimensional structural transition of 6H-SiC. Our investigations would provide valuable insights into the preparation of two-dimensional SiC.

期刊介绍： Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties. Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour. Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
