摘要
A series of Cr-containing diamond-like carbon films (Cr-DLC) have been successfully deposited at various C2H2 flow rates by filtered cathodic vacuum arc system. The composition, structure, and properties of Cr-DLC films were investigated by SEM, EPMA, XRD, Raman spectra, and nanoindentation. It is shown that the content of Cr increases from 29.1 to 49.3 at.-%, and the C/Cr increases from 1 to 2.5, when the C2H2 flow rate decrease from 30 to 10 sccm. The structure of Cr-DLC films was Cr-containing amorphous carbon films, and with increase in C2H2 flow rate, the G site and the I-D/I-G ratio decrease, and more sp(3) bonding is formed. According to nanoindentation test, the hardness and elastic modulus of Cr-DLC films increase from 10 and 124 GPa to 14 and 198 GPa with decreasing of C2H2 flow rate, respectively.
