J. Jagielski et al., On the possibility of beta-C3N4 carbon nitride synthesis via C and N implantation into copper, J MATER SCI, 34(12), 1999, pp. 2949-2954
The effects of high dose carbon and nitrogen implantations into copper on t
he type of chemical bonds and stoichiometry of the formed C-N phases are de
scribed. The results are compared with those obtained after nitrogen implan
tation into diamond like carbon (DLC) layers. The striking difference betwe
en the two experiments is the stoichiometry of covalently bonded C-N phase
which corresponds to C2N or to C3N3.7 for N implantation into DLC and C and
N implantation into copper, respectively. (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publish
