Electrodeposition of Diamond-like Carbon Films
Electrodeposition of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films was studied on different substrates using two different electrochemical methods. The first electrochemical method using a three-electrode system was studied to successfully deposit hydrogenated DLC films on Nickel, Copper and Brass substrates. …

Evaluation of diamond-like carbon films for lubrication in space
… solid lubricant for space applications. However, diamond-like carbon coatings have been increasingly studied as potential candidates for preparation of wear resistant materials with low friction in vacuum conditions. This thesis describes in-vacuum investigations made on a variety of formulations …

Improvement of Homogeneity and Adhesion of Diamond-Like Carbon Films on Copper Substrates
Electrodeposition method is used to deposit diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on copper substrates via anodic oxidation at low temperature. These films are characterized using Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Homogeneity of these films is …

Investigation of Structure and Properties of Low Temperature Deposited Diamond-Like Carbon Films
… is a novel method for fabrication of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on metal substrates. In this work, DLC was electrochemically deposited on different substrates based on an anodic oxidation cyclization of acetylene in liquid ammonia. Successfully anodic deposition was carried out …

Study of PECVD Films Containing Flourine and Carbon and Diamond Like Carbon Films for Ultra Low Dielectric Constant Interlayer Dielectric Applications
… consumption and parasitic capacitance. a:C-F films that are thermally stable at 400C were deposited using tetrafluorocarbon and disilane (5% by volume in Helium) as precursors. The bulk dielectric constant (k) of the film was optimized from 2.0 / 2.2 to 1.8 / 1.91 as-deposited and after heat …

Nanostructured diamond-like carbon by dual pulsed laser ablation-pulsed gas feeding
Diamond-like carbon films is a metastable form of carbon containing mixture of sp3 and sp2 hybridization. In the previous decades Diamond-like carbon has been studying widely due to its unique properties resembling those of diamond. These properties exhibit the high hardness, high wear resistance, …

Mechanisms for Orientation in Low Energy Ion Beam Assisted TiAlN Thin Film Growth
… of off-normal sputter deposited TiAlN thin films has been investigated with the goal of better understanding the mechanistic pathways in ion beam assisted thin film growth for better control of film properties during deposition. The effects of incident angle for ion bombardment has been …

Bio-inspired surface engineering for hydrophobicity
… also investigated. Finally, fluorine containing diamond-like carbon (F-DLC) coatings were examined because of their chemical inertness, mechanical durability, and low surface energy. F-DLC films were prepared by closed-field, unbalanced, magnetron sputtering (CFUBMS) on silicon substrate to study …
