Diamond-like films (DLF) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) are made of two allotropes of carbon, diamond and graphite. Each of Bulk DFL and Bulk HOPG which is untreated has a XPS spectra corresponding to some coordination numbers (CN). After the Ar+ bombardment, atomic hole defect, inclu...
