Raman spectroscopy on amorphous carbon films
Abstract
The origin and interpretation of the Raman features of amorphous (hydrogenated) carbon films deposited at room temperature in the region of 1000–1700 cm−1 is discussed in this paper. Possible interpretations of the linewidths, positions of the ‘‘G’’ graphite peak and ‘‘D’’ disordered peak, and their intensity ratios are examined using results obtained from magnetron sputtered and magnetic field enhanced plasma deposited films. It is shown that even small ‘‘clusters’’ of condensed benzene rings (cluster size below 20 Å) in carbon films can explain the observed Raman scattering. Besides the care that should be taken in the correct interpretation of Raman results, the utility of Raman scattering in obtaining an estimate of cluster sizes in amorphous (hydrogenated) carbon films is discussed. Carbon films prepared by magnetron sputtering show two additional Raman features at 1180 and 1490 cm−1 in addition to the G and D peaks. It is shown that a correlation exists between the 1180 cm−1 peak and the sp3 content in the films.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
