Amorphous SiC was prepared by firing the polycarbosilane to various temperatures ranging from 500°C to 1200°C. However the l3c CPMAS NMR and ESR studies show that the carbon rich SiC has two major structural defects, C=C bonds and C-dangling bonds. Both defects concentrations vary with different sample firing conditions. Hydrogen has dramatic effect on decreasing the defect concentrations when used in the sample firing.
