Popis: Diamond-like Carbon(DLC) films have been deposited at Los alamos National Laboratory by pulsed ion beam ablation of graphite targets. the targets are illuminated by an intense beam of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen ions at a fluence of 15-45 J/cm2. Ion energies are on the order of 350 keV, with beam current rising to 35 kA over a 400 ns ion current pulse. Raman spectra of the deposited films indicate an increasing ratio of sp 3 to sp 2 bonding as the substrate is moved further away from the target and further off the target normal. Using a thin film platinum resistor at various positions, we have measured the heating of the substrate surface due to the kinetic energy and heat of condensation of the ablated material. Plume power density and energy input are inferred from the temperature measurements. This information is used to determine if substrate heating is responsible for the lack of DLC in positions close to the target and near the target normal.
