摘要: Abstract Amorphous carbon nitride films ( CN x ) were grown by reactive radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering of a high-purity graphite target in argon/nitrogen (Ar/ N 2 gas mixture. The total discharge pressure was 1 Pa and the nitrogen partial (NPP) plasma between 0 0.10%. properties determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared absorption, transmission spectroscopy. electrical resistivity studied as function temperature 110 573 K. optical gap varies from 0.30 to 0.7 eV range content good agreement with measurements. two types conduction mechanisms can be interpreted basis on band structure model π electrons disordered presence localized states.
