The paper presents results of the research of the structure and properties of nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon coatings obtained in the vacuum from the flow of pulsed carbon plasma. The doping by nitrogen of carbon coating was determined to lead to increases in electrical conductivity, reductions of internal stresses, reduce of density, hardness and modulus, and to the change in structure, surface morphology and tribological characteristics.
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.
