Scientific paper

The efficiencies of various processes of dust formation in the envelopes of carbon stars are estimated (for IRC + 10216). It is concluded that there is sufficient gaseous C near the star for dust formation through homogeneous nucleation. The surface energy of particles of silicon carbide cosmic dust is estimated as 1600 erg/sq cm at T = 1000 K. It is possible that solid silicon carbide falls onto the surfaces of graphite grains.
