Abstract
Data of an x-ray structural study of single crystals of silicon carbide α-SiC(6H) and a new, previously unknown modification γ-SiC with a rhombic lattice are described. The rhombic-lattice parameters are related to the parametera of the hexagonal and cubic lattices of SiC in the following way:a r=a h,b r=3a h,c r=3a c.
