TLDR
In this paper, a beam gun is provided having an anode and a cathode and is supplied with current of such magnitude as to cause an arc discharge to occur between the anodes and cathode to emit the beam.Abstract:
A deposition process comprising emitting a beam of particles consisting of atoms and ions of source material, each particle having a kinetic energy between about 10 and 100 electron volts. The particles are deposited onto an object to coat the object with a thin film of source material. A beam gun is provided having an anode and a cathode and is supplied with current of such magnitude as to cause an arc discharge to occur between the anode and cathode to emit the beam.read more

Method for forming macroparticle-free DLC films by cathodic arc discharge
TL;DR: In this paper, a diamond-like carbon coating is produced by using a pyrolytic graphite cathode and a cathodic arc discharge with the arc spot on the cathode surface and directing the resulting carbon plasma toward the substrate to form a coating.
