C-13 CP MAS NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize alpha-C:H materi
als generated from methane and hydrogen mixtures using a microwave pla
sma. Dipolar dephasing experiments indicate a range of T(dd) making qu
antification of quaternary ''diamond''-like carbons difficult. Unconst
rained lineshape analysis is not suitable for the deconvolution of the
NMR spectra, but linewidth constrained analyses gave reasonable resul
