• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents current research from across the globe in the study of diamond-like carbon films. Topics discussed include the peculiarities of ion-beam synthesis of carbon-based phases; electron field emission properties of non-metal and metal doped diamond like carbon; internal stress and its reduction of hydrogenated diamond-like carbon thin films deposited by plasma CVD methods; incorporating crystalline diamond particles in diamond-like carbon films to improve their properties and diamond-like carbon films applied as an alignment layer for LCDs.
