Abstract
a-C:H films prepared by DC-magnetron sputtering in an H2:Ar mixture exhibit strong photoluminescence (PL) peaks superimposed upon the Raman scattering spectrum. PL becomes observable at a hydrogen content of ca. 34%, and increases exponentially thereafter, driven by the progressive saturation of carbon dangling bonds. In this %H range, hardness and elastic modulus decrease and CSS durability reaches an optimum. The Raman G peak position is very sensitive to deposition temperature (shift of 0.1 cm-1/°C) and was found to correlate with the sp3 /sp2 bonding ratio as measured by EELS, and therefore can also be used as a predictor of carbon tribological performance
