Previous work has shown that the bonding structure and phase of amorphous carbon (a-C) can be modified by laser annealing. In this work, the effect of surface modification by metal coating on a-C during laser annealing was studied. A-C film was deposited by the filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) te...
