Abstract
Band-gap-modulated diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films are shown to e xhibit quantum confinement effects by the blue shift of the optical ga p with decreasing quantum well width. The blue shift observed experime ntally in the band-gap-modulated DLC thin films is shown to follow the variation predicted by a one-dimension quantum well model. Experiment al C-V and I-V measurements also confirm the existence of electronic s ubbands in the well material.
