DLC coatings have attracted an enormous amount of interest for science and engineering
applications. DLC occurs in several different kinds of amorphous carbon materials. Owing to …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a metastable form of amorphous carbon with significant sp3
bonding. DLC is a semiconductor with a high mechanical hardness, chemical inertness, and …

The origin and interpretation of the Raman features of amorphous (hydrogenated) carbon
films deposited at room temperature in the region of 1000–1700 cm− 1 is discussed in this …

During the past two decades, diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have attracted an
overwhelming interest from both industry and the research community. These films offer a …

Amorphous and nanocrystalline carbon films possess special chemical and physical

Since their initial discovery, Diamond Like Carbon films have enjoyed an overwhelming
interest from both the scientific and industrial community. This book highlights some of the …

The analysis of the X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of the C 1s core level of pulsed laser
deposited diamond-like carbon thin films, obtained at different laser intensities is presented …

We compare the Raman spectra and other macroscopic properties of nearly one hundred
amorphous carbon films deposited at five research laboratories by a total of five different …

Effective stabilization of lithium metal has been hindered by the exacting requirements for
the protection layer. Among all materials, the mechanical strength and electrochemical …

Diamond may be grown at low pressures where it is the metastable form of carbon. Recent
advances in a wide variety of plasma and electrical discharge methods have led to dramatic …
