TRANSMISSION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY INVESTIGATION INTO THE RECRYSTALLIZATION OF CARBON RESULTING FROM LASER PROCESSING OF CARBON-IMPLANTED COPPER

The present paper is a contribution to the discussion about the laser- pulse-assisted synthesis of carbon from copper implanted with carbon a toms. In this study, in contrast to others, the phase composition of t he products of such synthesis was examined, observing the electron dif fraction from the carbon film formed on a copper substrate without rem oving it from this substrate. The phase identification performed in th is experiment has shown that the carbon phase generated by the laser-a ssisted synthesis from carbon-implanted copper is chaoite.
