Electrical and mechanical properties of DLC coatings modified by plasma immersion ion implantation

Properties of W incorporated diamond-like carbon films prepared by pulsed-laser deposition

“…Therefore, the sp 3 content seems to reduce after the W incorporation, which may arise from carbon states because of the bond angle dispersion. However, for the W incorporated films, the I D /I G ratios are between 1.63 and 1.77, and there is no clear dependence on the W content, which is in agreement with other reports [34].…”

Characterization of the evaporation behavior of a β-SiC target during electron beam-physical vapor deposition

“…2). Moreover, the binding energy of C 1s is 284.8 eV and consistent with that in diamondlike carbon [19,20], which is proved by the Vickers hardness of this zone (about 36.2 GPa). According to the process of evaporation, the following reaction occurs:…”

Influences of ceramic mating balls on the tribological properties of Cr/a-C coatings with low chromium content in water lubrication

“…Due to their high hardness, exceptional wear resistance, good chemical inertness and superior biocompatibility, amorphous carbon coatings such as diamond like carbon and graphite like carbon etc have been widely studied and applied in different modern sliding machine components and cutting tools for about 30 years [1][2][3]. The fatal weakness of amorphous carbon coatings is their high compressive stresses induced by the formation of sp 3 carbon bonding.…”
