Popis: It is shown that the morphology and conductivity of diamond-like films grown via the ion-plasma method depend on the material of the substrate, onto which they are applied: the number of microinclusions increases with increasing coating thickness, while the conductivity decreases in the process. Films on a tantalum substrate demonstrate acceptable adhesion at a thickness of the applied layer from 0.7 to 3.7 μm. The existence of the hopping-conduction mechanism is detected, the length of the hop r within the crystallite is estimated.
