sp 2 hybridized carbons constitute a broad class of solid phases composed primarily of
elemental carbon and can be either synthetic or naturally occurring. Some examples are …

DLC coatings have attracted an enormous amount of interest for science and engineering
applications. DLC occurs in several different kinds of amorphous carbon materials. Owing to …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a metastable form of amorphous carbon with significant sp3
bonding. DLC is a semiconductor with a high mechanical hardness, chemical inertness, and …

We present a comprehensive multiwavelength Raman investigation of a variety of
hydrogenated amorphous carbons (aC: H), ranging from polymeric aC: H to diamond-like …

Plasma wall interaction (PWI) is important for the material choice in ITER and for the plasma
scenarios compatible with material constraints. In this paper, different aspects of the PWI are …

Chemical, petrochemical, energy, and environment-related industries strongly require high-
performance nanofiltration membranes applicable to organic solvents. To achieve high …

We study the 514 and 244 nm Raman spectra of a wide variety of hydrogenated amorphous
carbons (aC: H). The hydrogen content can be estimated from the slope of the …

Interactions between the plasma and the vessel walls constitute a major engineering
problem for next step fusion devices, such as ITER, determining the choice of the plasma …

Carbon-based thin films possess unique and adjustable combination of properties such as
high hardness and wear resistance, chemical resistance and good tribological …

Carbon is a very versatile element that can crystallize in the forms of diamond or graphite.
There are many noncrystalline carbons, known as amorphous carbons. An amorphous …
