Hamilton, Patrick

In 1958, the first SiC conference was held in Boston, Massachusetts. However, after this, the interest in SiC rapidly declined and the 1960s and 1970s are characterized by a low interest in SiC. Research was still ongoing, mainly in the former Soviet Union. In the United States, the work done by Westinghouse and the University of Pittsburgh is primarily notable. Indeed, the photoluminescence studies made by Choyke, Patrick, and Hamilton are still very relevant and often cited [21].
