摘要: The microstructure of diamond–SiC interfaces was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Specimens were prepared focused ion beam (FIB) etching from a composite bulk material. easily located high contrast in FIB images the surface, and site-specific specimen preparation possible. possible origin this compared to SEM is discussed. TEM diffraction patterns showed that diamond SiC crystals away interface region are relatively defect-free, but numerous defects present at over dimension 600 nm, much larger than physical interface.
