摘要: By creating nanostructures and controlling the hydrogen content sp3/sp2 bonding ratio, we report formation of very hard (35.8 GPa) hydrogenated diamond-like carbon film at a self-bias −100 V using simple radio frequency-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process. When is varied modifications such as incorporation nitrogen Ag interlayer are executed, mechanical properties films, however, got altered that correlated well with structural changes investigated various spectroscopic microscopic techniques.
