A promising material for cold cathodes creation are carbon films with both acceptable emission properties and satisfactory adhesion to the substrate. It is known that inclusions of metallic elements (chromium, titanium, etc.) improve the adhesion of the carbon film to the substrate. One of the methods for producing coatings based on carbon and titanium is electric arc spraying of a Ti/C composite cathode in an argon atmosphere. The disadvantage of this method is the presence in the total plasma flow of carbon microparticles, which are sources of structural defects in the growing film. Magnetic separation of carbon plasma solves the above problem. In this work, composite metal-carbon films were obtained by simultaneous electric arc spraying of graphite in a magnetic field and of titanium from two evaporators. The composition of the films was studied by Raman spectroscopy (RS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It has been established that the samples obtained are composite films consisting of graphite nanoparticles, Ti14C13 nanoclusters or Ti8C12, titanium oxides, and titanium carbide TiCxN1–x compounds.

ABSTRACTDirect ion beam deposition of carbon films on silicon in the ion energy range of 15–500eV and temperature range of 25–800°C has been studied using mass selected C+ ions under ultrahigh vacuum. The films were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy and diffraction analysis. Films deposited at room temperature consist mainly of amorphous carbon. Deposition at a higher temperature, or post-implantation annealing leads to formation of microcrystalline graphite. A deposition temperature above 800°C favors the formation of microcrystalline graphite with a preferred orientation in the (0001) direction. No evidence of diamond formation was observed in these films.

The nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon film was prepared on Ti6Al4V alloy by using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique,and its biocompatibility was studied.The surface morphology,chemical composition and contact angle were measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),Raman Spectrometer and contact angle measuring device. Finally, the proliferation rate and cellular morphology of 3T3-E1 osteoblast cells on different sample surfaces were tested and Image J software was used to statistically analyze the count of the adhered cells. The results showed that cell adhesion and proliferation were significantly (P<0.05) increased on nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon films , which illustrated that N doping improved the biocompatibility of DLC films. This finding has potential clinical application value to modify titanium alloy for new bone formation.

ABSTRACTThe modification of the diamond surface through adsorbants offers the opportunity to adjust the electronic and electron emission properties of the surface. In the study presented here, we deposited between 0.1 and 100 monolayers of carbon from an electron beam evaporation source on polycrystalline diamond films. Photoelectron spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and X-ray regime was employed to characterize the surface. Observations on a (100) polycrystalline diamond film show, that the surface is first depleted of hydrogen and subsequent growth of an amorphous carbon film (a-C) occurs on the reconstructed surface. The deposition of these ultrathin carbon films allows the controlled introduction of sp2carbon and p-π states onto the diamond surface. The field emission current increases considerably with the amount of sp2-carbon accumulated at the diamond surface. The current-voltage characteristics only partially follow the Fowler-Nordheim equation, and the results obtained for different films are described and possible emission mechanism discussed.

ABSTRACTMultilayered cold cathodes made of spin coated nanocrystalline diamond and cathodic arc process grown nanocluster carbon films, were studied. The nanocrystalline diamond was first coated on to the substrate. The nanocluster carbon films were then deposited on the seeded nanocrystalline diamond coated substrates using the cathodic arc process at room temperature. Theresultant hetrostructured microcathodes were observed to exhibit electron emission currents of 1μA/cm2 at fields as low as 1.2 V/μm. Further some of the samples seem to exhibit I-V characteristics witha negative differential resistance region at room temperature conditions. This negative differential resistance or the resonant tunneling behaviour was observed to be dependent on the nanoseeded diamond size and concentration for a given nanocluster carbon film.

Defective Sites

In this paper, carbon thin films were grown using the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD). Methane (CH4) was used as the carbon precursor to grow the carbon thin film. The grown film was analyzed by the high-resolution transmission electron micrograph (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, and Raman spectrum analysis. The analyses show that the PE-ALD-grown carbon film has an amorphous structure. It was found that the existence of defective sites (nanoscale holes or cracks) on the substrate of copper foil could facilitate the formation of nanolayered carbon films. The mechanism for the formation of nanolayered carbon film in the nanoscale holes was discussed. This finding could be used for the controlled growth of nanolayered carbon films or other two-dimensional nanomaterials while combining with modern nanopatterning techniques.

Benzylamine tartrate (m.p. 63°C) seems to be a better and more convenient substrate for making carbon films than any of those previously proposed. Using it in the manner described, it is easy consistently to make batches of specimen grids as open as 200 mesh with no broken squares, and without individual handling of the grids. Benzylamine tartrate (hereafter called B.T.) is a viscous liquid when molten, which sets to a glass. Unlike polymeric substrates it does not swell before dissolving; such swelling of the substrate seems to be a principal cause of breakage of carbon film. Mass spectroscopic examination indicates a vapor pressure less than 10−9 Torr at room temperature.

Due to their unique physicochemical properties, polysilazanes exhibit excellent performance when combined with some resin matrixes, which had drawn great research attention. In this article, polyurethane (PU) was firstly prepared by polytetrahydrofuran glycol, isophorone diisocyanate, and 1,4-butanediol as main materials. Then, the prepared PU was blended with polysilazane by mixing the two solutions together, which was cured to films via dip-coating method at room temperature. The structure, thermal stability, and surface properties of the composite coatings were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that after modification with polysilazane, the heat resistance, hydrophobicity, and mechanical property of the PU coatings were improved. When the content of polysilazane was 6 wt%, the mechanical property of the composite films was optimized, with a maximum tensile strength of 25.7 MPa and elongation at break of 797%. Meanwhile, the water contact angle of the composite film was 107° and the water absorption reached a minimum of 2.1%, which showed improved hydrophobicity and water resistance.

Influence of the process parameters and geometry of the spraying nozzle on the properties of titanium deposits obtained in wire arc spraying. Wire arc spraying is a process in which through minor modifications of the spray parameters, they can have a major impact on the coatings properties. In this paper there is presented a study on the influence of process parameters and fluid dynamics of the atomization gas on the properties of titanium deposits (14T - 99.9% Ti). For this there were used three different frontal spraying nozzles, having different geometries, and were varied the spraying gas pressure and the electrical current on three levels. There were evaluated the particles velocity, coating density, chemical composition and characteristic interface between deposition and substrate. Obviously, the high speed of the atomization gas determinate the improving of all properties, but in the same time increased the oxide content in the layer. However, the oxidation can be drastically reduced if the melting and atomization of the wire droplets is produced at the point of formation of the electric arc, and the spraying jet is designed to constrain the electric arc. The assessment of deposits adherence allowed the observation of process parameters that contribute to its improvement.

AbstractAdvances in solid lubricating films for vacuum and high temperature applications are reviewed. Traditional lubricants (e.g. graphite and dichalcogenides) are being improved and new lubricating materials (e.g. amorphous carbons) are being discovered with the aid of recent developments in deposition processes and surface analytical methods. Ion bombardmenttreatments have increased film adhesion, lowered friction coefficients and enhanced the wearlife of MoS2films, as well as created new forms of lubricating carbons (amorphous, polymeric and diamond-like). Composite films and multilayer coating treatments are providing extra protection for surface and films against environmental degradation. Ultralow friction coefficients (<0.01) have been achieved with MoS 2 as well as diamond-like carbon films. Material selection, in some cases (e.g. thin metal films), can nowbe made basedon scientific principles, although many tribomaterials are still being developed by trialand error methods.
