Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors are just such a technology, and have already begun to revolutionise the industry. A graph showing the relationship between band gap and temperature for various ...

(Credit: DoE) Now it seems that silicon carbide (SiC) may soon replace the traditional zirconium alloy with General Atomics’ SiGa fuel cladding, which has been tested over the past 120 days in ...

Used as an abrasive compound since the end of the 19th century, silicon carbide (SiC) has high mechanical and thermal properties. Abrasives are manufactured by combining silica sand and carbon in ...

Boron carbide powders and compounds are available in multiple abrasive grit size choices from F10/30 to F1500 and are suitable for the precision lapping and polishing of many engineering materials.

As power electronics evolve, many designers are making the shift from silicon (Si) to silicon carbide (SiC) to take advantage of higher efficiency, faster switching speeds, and improved thermal ...

A European research team led by Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich has developed a 24%-efficient crystalline silicon solar cell with a highly transparent passivating contact based on silicon carbide.

Toshiba has developed a 2,200 V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET for inverters and energy storage systems, in order to help inverter manufacturers to reduce the size and weight of their products.
