Diamond-like carbon — present status
TL;DR: A detailed assessment of the current status of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film deposition is given in this article, where the authors discuss deposition systems, characterization methods, film properties and possible applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetrahedral bonding in amorphous carbon
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the structure of amorphous carbon (ta-C) can be simulated using ab initio quantum mechanics with high elasticity and low friction coefficients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen-free amorphous carbon films: correlation between growth conditions and properties
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the present understanding of diamond-like carbon growth mechanisms and discuss the correlation between the deposition parameters (e.g., species energy, substrate temperature, substrate material, angle of incidence, deposition rate and environment) and the film properties (density, surface morphology, sp 3 /sp 2 ratio) studied using a host of experimental methods.

Hydrophobic coating including DLC on substrate
TL;DR: In this article, a substrate is coated with a hydrophobic coating that includes highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon that is a form of diamond-like carbon (DLC), and the coating is deposited on the substrate in a manner to increase its hydrophobicity.
Patent
Highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon coating on glass
TL;DR: A soda inclusive glass substrate is coated with a highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon inclusive layer that is a form of diamond-like carbon (DLC), and the high density (e.g. greater than or equal to about 2.4 gm/cm3) of the ammorphous carbon layer prevents soda from exiting the glass and reacting with water at surface(s) of a glass, thereby minimizing visible stains or (corrosion) on the glass.

Compressive-stress-induced formation of thin-film tetrahedral amorphous carbon
TL;DR: A model is proposed which accounts for the formation and structure of ta-C films on the basis of the compressive stress generated by the shallow implantation of carbon ions, and an optimal range of beam energies between 15 and 70 eV, a high film stress, and a graphitic surface are predicted and confirmed by experimental evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
EELS analysis of vacuum arc-deposited diamond-like films
TL;DR: In this paper, an amorphous diamond-like carbon film was analyzed and the fraction of sp2-bonded carbon was quantified and found to be of the order of 15% and it was not possible to determine if the sp2 carbon was on the surface or throughout the bulk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination Processes in Insulators and Semiconductors
TL;DR: In this paper, ground states are divided into ground states and shallow trapping states, and the major recombination traffic passes through the ground states, where the discrete states in the forbidden zone are separated into ground and shallow states.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural, optical, electrical and physical properties of amorphous carbon deposited from the filtered plasma stream of a vacuum arc were investigated, and the tetrahedral coordination of the material was confirmed by measurements of stress and plasmon energy as a function of ion energy.
