U. Falke, INVESTIGATIONS OF THIN HYDROGENATED AMORPHOUS-CARBON FILMS USING ELECTRON-ENERGY-LOSS SPECTROSCOPY (EELS), Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 349(1-3), 1994, pp. 241-241
Transmission EELS measurements have been carried out on a-C: H films d
eposited by ion plating from acetone or n-hexane plasma using various
substrate potentials. The calculated dielectric functions show low opt
ical absorption in the range of 4 eV to 8 eV. The amount of sp3 hybrid
izised C atoms has been estimated by integration over the pi and sigm
a band ranges in the core loss spectra.
