Abstract

Fully relaxed SiC grain boundaries were produced by the sublimation re-crystallization method. Several kinds of grain boundaries of bi- and tri-crystals were investigated applying an atomic resolution high-voltage transmission electron microscopy (ARHVTEM). The rotation axis and the rotation angle were common tofrequently observed grain boundaries, which were, respectively, 70.5 degrees and <1120>. But boundary planes differed from each other. It was shown that the atomic bonding direction was continuous across the stable grain boundary.
