Silicon carbide (SiC) is a mineral with virtually no natural occurence. Probably most commonly known for it's use as an abrasive due to the extreme hardness of the material, which is only exceeded by the hardness of diamond. However, SiC is also being extensively researched for applications as a semiconductor for applications requiring high power, high frequency or a large degree of chemical inertness.

Bio

Hi!

My name is Lars Løvlie. I am very interested in contributing to the Citizendium, since my efforts to contribute to Wikipedia has left me frustrated at the lack of experts to end deadlocked discussions. I am hoping that the more ordered society in CZ will keep me more motivated.

Born and raised in Volda, Norway [1], I live in Oslo[2] and work on a phd in semiconductor physics at the University of Oslo, Centre for materials research and nanotechnology[1]. I hold an M.Sc. in electrical engineering (semiconductors).

This bio will be updated with more information in time.

Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a mineral with virtually no natural occurence. Probably most commonly known for it's use as an abrasive due to the extreme hardness of the material, which is only exceeded by the hardness of diamond. However, SiC is also being extensively researched for applications as a semiconductor for applications requiring high power, high frequency or a large degree of chemical inertness.
