Abstract | |||||||||
| Pulsed laser evaporation is an important method for growing diamond-like films from graphite targets because no hydrogen is required in the growing chamber as with other techniques. Previous results showed that the films produced by this technique are of good quality and hydrogen free. Several experiments were performed to analyze the content of the ablation plume. It was found that the ionic content of the plume is 12% of the total ejected mass, that more than 50% of the ions are singly ionised carbon monomers, and that the ions do not play any significant role in the electronic structure of the diamond-like films as evidenced by Raman spectroscopy. | |||||||||
