Very hard diamondlike carbon films have been prepared with the aid of an ionized deposition technique. The growth mechanism of films deposited in the presence of methane gas is discussed. The properties of these carbon films are as follows: The concentration of hydrogen atoms contained in the films is almost negligible. Micro‐Vickers hardness changes depended largely on the deposition conditions, but some of the values obtained were larger than that of sapphire. The 111, 220, and 311 reflections can be observed clearly in the electron diffraction patterns. Moreover the crystal structure obtained from these rings is very close to that of diamond.read more

Hard amorphous (diamond-like) carbons
TL;DR: In this paper, a chemical bonding model is developed which describes the arrangement of these sites and which accounts for many of the electronic and mechanical properties of amorphous carbon, including elastic modulus, hardness, wear rate, friction and film adhesion.

Current Issues and Problems in the Chemical Vapor Deposition of Diamond
TL;DR: Current issues and problems in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond are those which relate to its characterization, its nucleation on foreign surfaces, the question of its formation in preference to the other phases of solid carbon, and why different morphologies and crystallographic orientations (textures) are seen in different experiments.

Optical constants and associated functions of metastable diamondlike amorphous carbon films in the energy range 0.5–7.3 eV
TL;DR: In this article, the complex refractive index and the complex dielectric constant for diamond-like amorphous carbon (a•C) films in the photon energy range 0.5 − 7.3 eV were derived via the use of sum rules.
