Abstract
Diamond-like carbon coatings were prepared by pulsed laser ablation of a graphite target in a high-vacuum (similar to 10(-6) Torr) environme nt on Si, SiO2 and single-crystal YBa2Cu3O7 film substrates. Investiga tions by a variety of spectroscopic techniques demonstrate that the fi lms had a high density (similar to 2.9 g cm(-3)) close to that of diam ond, a high ratio of sp(3) to sp(2) bonding (0.75/0.25), and IR transp arency. The films were hard, adhesive to the substrate and had a high resistivity. The parameters of the growth process that allows producti on of DLC films with high water-resistance properties on YBa2Cu3O7 sub strates have been determined.
