Abstract:
This work presents a comparative analysis of the results of silicon carbide synthesis through the carbonization of Si (001) and Si (111) substrates in the temperature range 1130-1140 °C. The synthesis involved chemical vapor deposition utilizing thermally stimulated methane reduction in a hydrogen gas stream. The experiments employed an Oxford Nanofab Plasmalab System 100 apparatus on substrates from which the native oxide was removed according to established protocols. To minimize random experimental variations (e.g., deviations from set parameters), short synthesis durations of 3 and 5 min were analyzed. The resultant thin films underwent evaluations through several techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, optical emission spectroscopy with glow discharge, and transmission electron microscopy. A comparison and analysis were conducted between the results from both substrate orientations.

Preparation of Alkynes: Dehydrohalogenation
Alkynes can be prepared by dehydrohalogenation of vicinal or geminal dihalides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide in liquid ammonia. The reaction proceeds with the loss of two equivalents of hydrogen halide (HX) via two successive E2 elimination reactions.
