Carbon nitride (CN x ) bilayer films with Ti and TiN interlayer were synthesized by cathode arc technique at various nitrogen pressures (P N2 ). The dependences of microstructure and bonding composition of the films on the P N2 and interlayer were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Microstructure evolution consisting of the ordering and size of Csp 2 clusters, the faction of N-sp 3 /N-sp 2 bonds and graphite-like/pyridine-like configurations was dominated by P N2 , interlayer and annealing. The results showed that Ti and TiN interlayer decrease the atomic ratio of N/C and increase clustering Csp 2 . High P N2 induces the formation of C ≡ N and C À N bonds, the increase of sp 2 -bonding content and the growth of Csp 2 clusters. A large part of nitrogen atoms are coordinated with sp 2 -hybridized carbon (minimum 71% for annealed CN x monolayer). TiN/CN x bilayer had a higher content of pyridine-like configuration. Morphological characteristics of CN x monolayer and bilayer mainly depend on the surface character (roughness and surface energy) of the sublayer. The internal stress in the as-deposited Ti/CN x bilayer is smaller, but it after annealing is higher than that of CN x monolayer and TiN/CN x bilayer. These results may be of interest for studying the CN x films with controlled bonding composition and expected engineering properties.

A simple method of pore modification coupled with the removal of surface defects of Deca-Dodecasil-Rhombohedral (DDR) zeolite membrane was developed by Carbon (C) deposition. The carbon deposition was achieved by the controlled decomposition of the structure directing agent (SDA), 1-Adamantanamine (1-ADA), into the membrane pore surface. The membranes synthesized with and without pore modification were characterized by Thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, Infra Red spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy etc. Finally, performances of the membranes were evaluated by permeance studies.The non wetting characteristics of C had imparted the hydrophobicity of the membrane pores leading to enhanced permeability of the gas mixture. The modified membranes had shown to offer relatively high hydrogen permeance of 13.47 × 10 -7 mol.m -2 .s -1 .Pa -1 . The selectivity of H 2 / CO 2 was 4.9 based on single gas permeation and the separation factor was increased up to 8.5 for gas mixture (H 2 -CO 2 ) at room temperature. In the light of these findings, the current technique is proposed to be useful for making a defect free C loaded membrane in a single step with a high separation selectivity and permeability in tandem. This is the novelty achieved.

“…16,17 Now sputtered particles were able to penetrate the surface of the deposited films from the gap of lattice and stayed in the subsurface to become interstitial atoms owing to the intense bombardment. 18 The groove-like network was easy to be filled up to achieve a smooth surface, and consequently limited the formation of a columnar structure. 19 Deformation would occur in the deposited films, which led to the increase of compressive stress inside the films, 20 and the films presented a trend of containing more sp 3 hybrid bond.…”

In this paper, an unbalanced plasma enhanced magnetron sputtering system was adopted to deposit four types of the graphite-like carbon (GLC) films under different currents of ion source. The results show that a moderate Ar + bombardment effectively adjusts the content of sp 3 hybrid structure, and significantly improves the film's compactness. With the increase of ion source current, the hardness, H/E and H 3 /E 2 ratios of the film present a change rule of increasing first and decreasing subsequently, and all achieve their maximum values under the ion source current of 10 A. Moreover, the average values of the studied GLC films are all below 0.05 with slight fluctuation, while the wear rate of the film presents a significant difference with the increase of ion source current. Especially, when the ion source current is 10 A, the friction coefficient and the wear rate of the GLC films are 0.01 and 1.7 × 10 −16 m 3 N −1 m −1 , respectively, presenting excellent tribological properties.
