Mechanically robust hydrophobic fluorine-doped diamond-like carbon film on glass substrate

Diamond-Like Carbon film from Liquid Gas on Metallic Substrates

Liquid gas was used to produce DLC films on Cu, Al and steel substrates by DC plasma technique. The absorption in IR reflectance indicates, grown films are DLC. By deconvolution of room temperature UVvisible spectra of the films grown at 50 mtorr and 200C, in addition to the spectra lines reported for CL, PL, PLC and ESR, some new spectra lines were obtained. We also, have seen exciton absorpti...

Direct electrochemical response of glucose at nickel-doped diamond like carbon thin film electrodes

Ni-doped diamond like carbon (NiDLC) thin films were deposited on Si substrates by cosputtering a pure Ni target with different DC powers (10, 20, 30, and 40 W) and a pure graphite target with a DC power of about 650 W at room temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to measure the chemical composition and binding energy of the NiDLC thin films, and the C bonding structures ...

Effect of bias voltage on structural and mechanical characteristics of diamond-like carbon thin film applied by ion beam deposition

This study, investigates the effect of bias voltage on structural changes of diamond-like carbon thin film created by ion beam deposition is investigated. For this purpose, the bias voltage in the values of 0 V, -50 V, -100 V and -150 V on the AA5083 aluminum alloy was considered. Raman spectroscopy was used to evaluate structural. Influence of the bias voltage on the thickness and roughness of...

Porous boron-doped diamond/carbon nanotube electrodes.

Nanostructuring boron-doped diamond (BDD) films increases their sensitivity and performance when used as electrodes in electrochemical environments. We have developed a method to produce such nanostructured, porous electrodes by depositing BDD thin film onto a densely packed "forest" of vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs had previously been exposed to a suspension ...
