Pure samples of the three most common hexagonal SiC polytypes have been examined in transmission electron diffraction. The diffraction patterns from the most densely populated planes in reciprocal space, the ( h 0 l )* planes, differ considerably from the calculated patterns. The difference can be attributed to ubiquitous multiple diffraction. Calculated intensity distributions for 100 kV electrons are given for 4 H , 6 H , and 15 R SiC. SiC whiskers have also been examined, and the unusual diffraction effects seen can, in general, be explained as a combination of ( a ) extreme disorder, ( b ) distorted lattices and ( c ) multiple diffraction.
