uv Studies of Tetrahedral Bonding in Diamondlike Amorphous Carbon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report ultraviolet (uv) Raman scattering studies of hydrogen-free, diamondlike amorphous carbon thin films with a wide range of tetrahedral bonding. The uv Raman spectra are shown to provide direct evidence for the presence of sp-bonded C atoms in these materials. The experimental results are found to be in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions and contribute to an improved understanding of the mechanism by which the diamondlike fraction develops within the amorphous carbon network.

Photoconductivity in highly tetrahedral diamondlike amorphous carbon
A photoconductive effect is observed in tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) or amorphous diamond films with a high proportion of sp3 bonding and a structure analogous to amorphous silicon. The spectral response is shown to peak at around 750400 nm and extend into the near UV region. The maximum photoresponse coincides wit.h the optical absorption edge. The quantum efficiency of 300 nm thick fil...
متن کاملMAGNETISATION AND ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE STUDIES OF TETRAHEDRAL AMORPHOUS CARBON
The magnetisation and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of two specimens of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), deposited from a filtered cathodic arc, were measured over a wide temperature range. The magnetisation was found to consist of superparamagnetic, paramagnetic and diamagnetic contributions. The superparamagnetic contribution resembled that recently found in carbon prepared from ...
متن کاملInterpretation of Raman spectra of disordered and amorphous carbon
The model and theoretical understanding of the Raman spectra in disordered and amorphous carbon are given. The nature of the G and D vibration modes in graphite is analyzed in terms of the resonant excitation of p states and the long-range polarizability of p bonding. Visible Raman data on disordered, amorphous, and diamondlike carbon are classified in a three-stage model to show the factors th...
متن کاملResonant Raman spectroscopy of disordered, amorphous, and diamondlike carbon
The Raman spectra of a wide range of disordered and amorphous carbons have been measured under excitation from 785 to 229 nm. The dispersion of peak positions and intensities with excitation wavelength is used to understand the nature of resonant Raman scattering in carbon and how to derive the local bonding and disorder from the Raman spectra. The spectra show three basic features, the D and G...
متن کاملAmorphous diamond: a high-pressure superhard carbon allotrope.
Compressing glassy carbon above 40 GPa, we have observed a new carbon allotrope with a fully sp(3)-bonded amorphous structure and diamondlike strength. Synchrotron x-ray Raman spectroscopy revealed a continuous pressure-induced sp(2)-to-sp(3) bonding change, while x-ray diffraction confirmed the perseverance of noncrystallinity. The transition was reversible upon releasing pressure. Used as an ...
