Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films combine several excellent properties like high hardness,
low friction coefficients and chemical inertness. The DLC coating material can be further …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited by cathodic vacuum arc evaporation (CVAE)
have attracted worldwide interest from research groups and industry since the beginning of …

This paper revies the preparation and properties of hard forms of amorphous carbon and
hydrogenated amorphous carbon, often known as diamond-like carbon. Properties such as …

The hard forms of amorphous carbon and hydrogenated amorphous carbon, also known as
diamond-like carbon, have recently aroused considerable interest as coating materials. This …

A highly tetrahedrally bonded form on nonhydrogenated amorphous carbon (aC) is
produced by deposition from filtered medium-energy ion beams. A range of such films was …

Hydrogen free diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been the subject of investigation all
over the world during the past 25years due to the unique combination of their properties that …

Ion implantation is used extensively in the semiconductor industry to introduce dopant atoms
into wafers to influence electrical performance. This is largely due to the highly reproducible …

Deposition of amorphous carbon from medium energy ion beams promotes sp 3, diamond-
like bonding. It is proposed that the sp 3 bonding arises from an increased density, owing to …

Electron configurations close to the tetrahedral hybridization are found in pure amorphous
carbon at a concentration which depends on preparation conditions. Tetrahedral bonding at …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a dense, partially sp 3 bonded metastable phase of non-
crystalline carbon or hydrogenated amorphous carbon formed by the deposition from …
