Carbon nitride films were synthesized by operating the dense plasma focus device with different CH4/N2 admixture gas ratios and fixed 20 focus shots. The pressure and axial distance from anode tip were kept constant at 3 mbar and 8 cm respectively. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) te...
