Abstract
Visible photoluminescence (PL) has been observed from the hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films prepared by ArF pulsed laser ablation of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in the presence of hydrogen gas (H-2 ). With increasing hydrogen concentration the PL intensity increases a nd the intensity maximum blue-shifted. The PL intensity also increases after hours of light illumination, exhibiting a light soaking enhance ment. Increasing the deposition temperature decreases the PL and incre ases the ratio of sp(3)/sp(2) bonds.
