The growth of amorphous carbon films via deposition is investigated using molecular dynamics simulation with a modified Tersoff potential. The impact energy of carbon atoms ranges from 1 to 50 eV and the temperature of the diamond substrate is 300 K. The effects of the incident energy on the growth dynamics and film structure are studied in a detail. Simulation results show that the mobility of surface atoms in the cascade region is enhanced by impacting energetic carbon ions, especially at moderate energy, which favors the growth of denser and smoother films with better adhesion to the substrate. Our results agree qualitatively with the experimental observation.

ABSTRACTTight-binding molecular-dynamics simulations are performed to study the structure of liquid and amorphous carbon. Comparisons of our results with ab initiomolecular dynamics (Car-Parrinello) results and experimental data show that the scheme has sufficient accuracy and efficiency for realistic simulation study of the structural properties of complex carbon systems.
