TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study on transparent conductive thin films made with two kinds of commercial carbon nanotubes: HiPCO and arc-discharge nanotube was carried out.
Abstract: We have carried out comparative studies on transparent conductive thin films made with two kinds of commercial carbon nanotubes: HiPCO and arc-discharge nanotubes. These films have been further exploited as hole-injection electrodes for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on both rigid glass and flexible substrates. Our experiments reveal that films based on arc-discharge nanotubes are overwhelmingly better than HiPCO-nanotube-based films in all of the critical aspects, including surface roughness, sheet resistance, and transparency. Further improvement in arc-discharge nanotube films has been achieved by using PEDOT passivation for better surface smoothness and using SOCl2 doping for lower sheet resistance. The optimized films show a typical sheet resistance of ∼160 Ω/□ at 87% transparency and have been used successfully to make OLEDs with high stabilities and long lifetimes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the Raman spectra and other macroscopic properties of nearly one hundred amorphous carbon films deposited at five research laboratories by a total of five different methods in search of correlations useful for both process control and basic understanding of these materials.
Abstract: We compare the Raman spectra and other macroscopic properties of nearly one hundred amorphous carbon films deposited at five research laboratories by a total of five different methods in search of correlations useful for both process control and basic understanding of the structure of these materials. For the full range of carbon‐hydrogen alloys, including so‐called ‘‘amorphous diamond,’’ hydrogenated ‘‘diamondlike’’ carbon, and plasma‐polymers, a simple parametrization of the Raman spectrum in the usual 1000 cm−1 to 2000 cm−1 range can be used as a reliable predictor of hydrogenation and other properties (e.g., optical gap, hardness). Raman features in the 200 cm−1 to 1000 cm−1 range, a spectral region not usually reported for carbon films, may also be used as an indicator of hydrogenation. These growth method independent correlations greatly enhance the utility of Raman spectroscopy as a non‐destructive characterization and process control tool.
