Contrast is associated with micropipes in X-ray topographs of SiC crystals obtained with prismatic reflections, representing an apparent violation of theg·b= 0 invisibility criterion. This is explained as a population of basal-plane dislocations with Burgers vectors of the setb= {\textstyle{1 \over 3}}〈11{\bar{2}}0〉 that occur in a high density within a few micrometers of the micropipes, below the resolution of X-ray topography. These basal-plane dislocations could be observed under an electron microscope. The presence of the surfaces of the micropipes influences the dislocation images in the topographs taken with prismatic reflections, often resulting in a band of light contrast along the axes of the micropipes.
