摘要: Abstract The mechanical and structural properties of the tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique on silicon at room temperature have been studied over ion energy range 15–200 eV. High (about 80% or higher) sp3 bond fractions were obtained for almost all energies investigated (E > 50 eV), with a maximum about 87% 95 variations in correlated to fraction show an linear dependence small variation content. hardness, Young's modulus, stress critical load minimum friction coefficient coincide highest as determined electron-energy-loss spectroscopy. All are atomically smooth. Raman spectra these when fitted skewed Lorentzian, parameter Q, which measures degree skewness, is noticeably dependent sp2 content below 30% can also be used verify c...
