The influence of diamond like carbon films properties on quantum efficiency of prepared transmission photocathodes has been investigated. DLC films were deposited on silicon substrate and stainless steel mesh by PECVD using methane, argon and hydrogen or deuterium gas mixtures. Photocathodes prepared with deuterated DLC film have higher quantum efficiency than photocathodes prepared with hydrog...

diamond like carbon (dlc) film was grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (hfcvd)technique. in the present work, we investigated the quality of the dlc films groew on the substratesthat were coated with various metal nanocatalysts (au and ni). a combination of ch4/ar/h2 rendersthe growth of carbon nanostructures technique (diamond like carbon). the utilized samples werecharacterized by...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used for visualization of a nano-oxidation technique performed on diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film. Experiments of the nano-oxidation technique of the DLC thin film include those on nano-oxidation points and nano-oxidation lines. The feature sizes of the DLC thin film, including surface morphology, depth, and width, were explored after application of a nano-...

A nano porous polyethersulfone (PES) membrane is widely used for aspects of nanofiltration, such as purification, fractionation and dialysis. However, the low-blood-compatibility characteristic of PES membrane causes platelets and blood cells to stick to the surface of the membrane and degrades ions diffusion through membrane, which further limits its application for dialysis systems. In this s...

Optical properties (transmission and refractive index) and chemical structure (XPS) of diamond-like coating (DLC) film before and after focused ion beam milling (FIBM) process, were investigated in this paper. It is shown by our FIBM experiment that influence of FIBM on Optical properties and chemical structure of the DLC film is not apparent, especially in near-infra region. The film still ca...

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...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the expression of DLC-l in breast carcinoma and any association with tumor metastasis. METHODS 51 surgical specimens of human breast carcinoma, divided into high invasive and low invasive groups according to their clinicopathological features, 30 cases of adjacent normal tissue and 28 benign breast lesions were examined by qRT-PCR for expression ...

In this work, the thermal stability and the oxidation and tribological behavior of nanoporous a-BC:H films are studied and compared with those in conventional diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. a-BC:H films were deposited by pulsed plasma chemical vapor deposition using B(CH3)3 gas as the boron source. A DLC interlayer was used to prevent the a-BC:H film delamination produced by oxidation. Therma...
