Nitrogen-Induced Degradation of Corrosion Resistance of Platinum/Ruthenium/Nitrogen-Doped Diamond-like Carbon Thin Films

An influence of nitrogen incorporation on the chemical composition, bonding structure, surface morphology and activity, adhesion strength, and corrosion resistance of platinum/ruthenium/nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon PtRuN-DLC thin films deposited on conductive p-Si 100 substrates using dc magnetron sputtering deposition was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, micro-Raman s...

Detection of Lead and Copper with Nitrogen Doped Diamond-like Carbon Thin Films

Nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon (N-DLC) thin films were prepared on n-Si substrates using a filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition method. Square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) was used to trace Pb and Cu in a neutral KCl solution with pH 7. Stripping voltammograms of Pb and Cu were analyzed in terms of metal concentration, deposition time and deposition potential. The SWASV resu...

Nitrogen and Aluminum Doped Diamond-like Carbon Thin Films by Dc Magnetron Sputtering Deposition

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films used in this study were prepared with DC magnetron sputtering deposition. Silicon (100) wafers were used as the substrates onto which an RF bias was applied during the film deposition. For the nitrogen doped DLC films, a pure graphite target was used as the carbon source and nitrogen gas was introduced into the deposition chamber via a mass flow controller. ...

Corrosion behavior of nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon thin films in NaCl solutions

Nitrogen doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:N) thin films were grown on p-Si(1 1 1) substrates using filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition by varying nitrogen flow rate. The effect of nitrogen flow rate on the corrosion performance of the films was investigated through potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests in 0.6 M NaCl solutions. The polarization results showed that t...
