摘要: Carbon nitride films were synthesized by operating the dense plasma focus device with different CH4/N2 admixture gas ratios and fixed 20 shots. The pressure axial distance from anode tip kept constant at 3 mbar 8 cm respectively. Raman X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques used to observe effect of ratio on carbon bonding. XPS analysis showed that terminating group C≡N is more dominant for using higher concentration nitrogen which gives softer films. Field emission scanning electron microscopy results deposited consist nanoparticles their agglomerates. size agglomerates increases decreasing in gas. Nanoindentation increase hardness elastic modulus values found be dependent sp3 content film as well C≡N. 10.7 229.8 GPa respectively achieved deposition shots 7:3.
