In this work we investigate the effects of neutron irradiation on the properties of two SiC polytypes. Changes to the optical properties were analyzed using a range of techniques including visible transmission, infra-red reflectance, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence.enElsevierNeutron irradiationSilicon carbideReflectanceRamanPhotoluminescencePostprint Article
