Physical Properties of Reactively Sputter-Deposited C-N Thin Films
This work aims to prepare and study amorphous carbon nitride (CNx) films. Films were deposited by reactive magnetron radiofrequency (RF) sputtering from graphite target in argon and nitrogen mixture discharge at room temperature. The ratio of the gas flow rate was varied from 0.1 to 1. Deposited films were found to be amorphous. Highest Nitrogen concentration achieved was 42 atomic percent whic...
متن کاملComposition and chemical bonding of pulsed laser deposited carbon nitride thin films
We studied composition, structure, and growth parameters of amorphous diamond-like carbon ~DLC! and carbon nitride (CNx) films deposited by pulsed laser deposition in vacuum and in nitrogen atmosphere. The composition (0<N/C<0.4), the structural and the electronic properties of the deposited carbon and carbon nitride films were investigated for different laser fluences ~1–12 J/cm!. Electron ene...
متن کاملNitrogen doping of amorphous carbon thin films
Nitrogenated and hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H:N) films have been deposited by a plasma beam source using a gas mixture of C2H2 , Ar and N2 . The Ar/C2H2 ratio is kept constant at a ratio of 3, with the nitrogen flow allowed to vary. Nonnitrogenated films, with Ar/C2H2 ratios of 3 and 6 were also deposited and analyzed before attempting to identify the modifications to the microstructura...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of a-CNx thin films prepared by laser ablation
Amorphous carbon nitride (a-CNx) thin films were synthesized by laser ablation on silicon (100) and glass substrates. The plasma was produced using the fundamental line of a Nd:YAG laser with 28 ns pulse duration focused on a graphite target. Deposition of a-CN films was carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere in the range of pressures from 3 x 10 to 1.5 x 10 Torr. The laser fluences used in this ...
متن کاملPulsed laser deposited tetrahedral amorphous carbon with high sp3 fractions and low optical bandgaps
Amorphous carbon films with sp3 bonded carbon fractions over 70% are deposited by pulsed laser deposition. However, the optical bandgap obtained from optical transmittance and spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis shows the values to be below 1.0 eV. A wide range of measurements such as electron energy loss spectroscopy, visible Raman, spectroscopic ellipsometry, optical transmittance, and electr...
