Table 3: The results of the analysis using various SiC measurements available in the literature. We conclude that the SiC in the ISM has a lattice structure closest resembled by that of Laor & Draine (1993).
  Spherical grains Porous GRF grains Coated GRF grains DHS ( $f_{\rm max}=0.7$)
Crystalline SiC (Laor & Draine 1993) - 3.6% (3.7$\sigma $) 4.2% (4.3$\sigma $) 2.6% (5.3$\sigma $)
Crystalline $\beta$-SiC (Mutschke et al. 1999) - 1.0% (2.6$\sigma $) 1.2% (2.4$\sigma $) 0.3% (4.0$\sigma $)
Amorphous SiC (Mutschke et al. 1999) - 5.8% (3.1$\sigma $) 5.0% (2.9$\sigma $) 4.1% (2.8$\sigma $)
