- Abstract
THE concurrent discovery at the Universities of Utah and Newcastle-upon-Tyne of a continuous series of solid solutions, with the 2H wurtzite-type structure, between silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminium nitride (AlN) is reported here. This, together with observations of the additional solubility of aluminium oxycarbide (Al2OC), suggests a large extension to the already wide field of sialons. It offers the prospect of many more materials in the Si-C-Al-O-N and related systems that are of scientific and technological interest not only as engineering ceramics but also for their physical, chemical, and electrical properties.
