Fabrication and characterization of tetrahedral amorphous carbon films for some applications

The filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique has proved to be a promising method for deposition of high quality and large uniformity tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films on different substrate materials at room temperature. Our study shows that the predominant factor to determine the sp co...
