چکیده

The availability of reliable characterisation tools for carbon films down to a few atomic layers’ thickness is one of the most decisive factors for technology development and production. In particular, non-destructive techniques are preferred. This chapter reviews the use of x-ray reflectivity, surface acoustic waves, and Raman spectroscopy to characterise carbon films in terms of density, thickness, layering, elastic constants, roughness, structure, and chemical composition. Raman spectroscopy, in particular, allows to probe of most of the materials properties, even if indirectly. The use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) will be considered to assess the basic growth mechanism of carbon films. The measurement of thermal conductivity of carbon films will also be reviewed.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE THERMAL DAMAGE CHARACTERIZATION OF CORDIERITE-MULLITE REFRACTORIES

Abstract: Refractory materials containing cordierite (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2) and mullite (3Al2O3.2SiO2) are used as support in furnaces, because of their low thermal expansion properties which confer them a very good ability to thermal shock resistance. Composed of two phases presenting very different CTE (1.5–3×10-6 for cordierite and 4–6×10-6 K-1 for mullite), these materials can develop damag...

Elastic constants and structural properties of nanometre-thick diamond- like carbon films

Carbon coatings of thickness down to 2 nm are needed to increase the storage density in magnetic hard disks and reach the 100-Gbitsyinch target. We show that the combination of surface Brillouin scattering, X-ray reflectivity and Raman spectroscopy 2 measurements allow us to measure the mechanical and structural properties of ultra-thin tetrahedral amorphous carbon films. Densities up to 2.8 gy...
