The role of metal interlayer on thermal stress, film structure, wettability and hydrogen content for diamond like carbon films on different substrate

Effects of Gas Pressure on the Size Distribution and Structure of Carbon Nanoparticles Using Ar + CH₄Multi-Hollow Discharged Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition

“…Figure 7 shows the pressure dependence of the intensity ratio of the D band and the G band, I D /I G , the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the G band, and the peak position of the G band. The Raman spectrum of diamond-like carbon highly depends on the clustering and disorder of the sp2 sites and only indirectly on the fraction of sp3 sites [34][35][36][37][38]. The ratio of I D /I G , which is a general indicator for the zone edges or photons of the carbon clusters, depends on the cluster size and distribution [35,39].…”

Further improving the mechanical and tribological properties of low content Ti-doped DLC film by W incorporating

“…Wei and co-workers [27][28] studies indicated that the interlayer will have a significant impact on the stress of DLC film. Therefore, In order to minimize the influence of Ti interlayer on the film stress, the W/Ti-DLC3 films were deposited repeatedly for three times in the same condition and marked as W/Ti-DLC3-1, W/Ti-DLC3-2, W/Ti-DLC3-3, respectively.…”

The effect of CNT content on the surface and mechanical properties of CNTs doped diamond like carbon films

“…On the other hand, the hydrogen content decreases as the content of DLC increases. The hydrogen content is known to play a role in the wettability of the surface [33,34]. The wettability of CNT doped DLC is measured by a sessile drop and the results are shown in Fig.…”
