Abstract

Previous experimental evidence for the transformation of MoSi2 from the high temperature C40 structure to the low temperature C11b structure has been re-examined such that the fault character and the existence of the C40 structure is now questioned. New observations of faults in single crystals prepared over a range of growth rates from 1cm/hr to 30cm/hr are presented. Transformation-induced stacking faults, which were previously described as 1/4<111> lying on {110), have been re-identified as 1/6[001] condensation faults on (001). These faults were probably produced by silicon loss during crystal growth. The contribution that these faults may make to macroscopic strain under the action of diffusion-assisted mechanisms at elevated temperatures is discussed.
