N. Tsubouchi et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF CARBON NITRIDE FILMS PRODUCED BY SIMULTANEOUS LOW-ENERGY DUAL-ION BEAMS IRRADIATION, Materials chemistry and physics, 54(1-3), 1998, pp. 325-329
CN films were deposited using simultaneously positive N-14(+) and nega
tive C-12(2)- ions (50-400 eV) under high vacuum condition. The film s
tructure and the C-N bonding states in the films were investigated as
a function of kinetic energy combinations of C-2(-) and N+ through Rut
herford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), Fourier transform infrared
absorption spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman scattering results. The film
structure was amorphous carbon-like. The order of carbon network and a
fraction of various kinds of C-C and C-N bonds in the films were foun
d to be correlated with the kinetic energy of NC ions. (C) 1998 Elsevi
