High energy carbon ions implantation: An attempt to grow diamond inside copper
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 MeV carbon ions were implanted into single-crystal copper which was then annealed in argon at temperatures ranging from 350 to 750 “C. Regrowth of the radiation-damaged copper was examined by RBS-channeling measurements. Carbon segregation occurred on annealing at 750°C. Prolonged annealing at 750 “C caused blistering of the copper layer over the buried carbon. After removal of the blistered copper overlayer, the previously buried carbon layer was examined by Raman scattering, showing that graphite is the dominant phase.

Bimodal range distributions of low-energy carbon ions in tetrahedral amorphous carbon
Range and mixing distributions of carbon ions deposited onto tetrahedral amorphous carbon films at kinetic energies between 22 eV and 692 eV are measured utilizing high-resolution elastic recoil detection. These data are compared to respective calculations based on binary collision approximation as well as to classical molecular-dynamics simulations. The measured range profiles reveal asymmetri...
متن کاملLOW-ENERGY-ION ENHANCED DIFFUSION AT THE SURFACE OF METALS
Radiation enhanced diffusion at the surface of metals has been observed and studied for low-energy nitrogen ions at the surface of copper. The displacement of the target atoms during irradiation creates vacancies and other defects near the surface, thus enhancing the diffusion of implanted materials toward the surface and also into the solid. The mechanism has been studied here by a specia...

Ion energy distributions (IEDs) have been determined at the radio frequency (rf)-biased electrode in an inductively coupled acetylene–argon plasma for various substrate bias voltages and frequencies under conditions suitable for diamond-like carbon (DLC) and polymer-like film deposition. These are compared with those obtained at a capacitively coupled plasma grounded wall. In the former, for pr...

In the present study, we investigate the potentiometric behavior of Cu2+ carbon paste electrodes based on two mercapto compounds 2-Ethylmino-5-Mercapto-1,3,4-Thiadiazole (EAMT) and 2-Acetylamino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AAMT) self-assembled on gold nano-paricle (GNP) as ionophore. Then, the results obtained from the modified electrodes are compared. The self-assembled ionophores exhibit a ...
