Title: Synthesis of Nanostructured Silicon Carbide Films Through Spray Pyrolysis of Ball-Milled Silicon
Abstract: Freestanding nanocrystalline films of silicon carbide (see Figure) can be synthesized employing a simple route—spray pyrolysis of ball-milled silicon. The silicon–hexane slurry was spray pyrolized in a silica tube at a constant temperature of 1000–1100 °C. XRD and SEM studies show the as synthesized films to be nanocrystalline α-SiC, with average crystallite size 90–125 nm, and a thickness of a few micrometers.
