Raman spectrum of the surface layer with a thickness of approximately 80 nm of a porous carbon ceramic was obtained (the porosity was used equal to 5%). Spectrum analysis showed that the ceramics contains crystals of silicon carbide - 6H-SiC and silicon. The destruction of ceramics by diamond microcrystals resulted in fractoluminescence (FL). Spectrum of FL contains two bands at 1.6 and 1.9 eV. The first band is formed by breaking down the silicon crystals, and the second band is formed by breaking down the 6H-SiC crystals. The time dependence of the intensity of FL signals with a time resolution of 2 ns is obtained. Three types of signals were observed: one type of signal is formed when the 6H-SiC crystals break down, the second type of signal is formed when the silicon crystals break down, and the third type of signal is formed when these crystals break down simultaneously. The appearance of signals is associated with the formation of cracks arising from the breaking down of the barriers formed at the intersection of slip planes of dislocations in silicon carbide and silicon crystals. The size of cracks in 6H-SiC is estimated: the smallest ones is 5.5 nm, and the largest is approximately 18 nm.
