Abstract:This study reports a novel process for the fabrication of highperformance graphite-like carbon (GLC) films on nitrided substrates through successive steps in a plasma nitriding system. Unlike films fabricated via conventional dual treatments (nitriding + film deposition), here-fabricated GLC films were grown on the surface of nitrided steel via a catalytic reaction. A transition zone having a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure was observed at the interface between the nitrided substrate and GLC films, whi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
