Diamond-like carbon (DLC), also known as amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H), are a class of materials with excellent mechanical, tribological and biological properties. When the DLC films are enhanced with other elements, ...

Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) films have been extensively applied in different fields due to their attractive mechanical, chemical, and tribological properties. The characteristics of the DLC films can be significantly enhanced ...

Abstract: A promising strategy to reduce nosocomial infections related to prosthetic meshes is the prevention of microbial colonization. To this aim, prosthetic meshes coated with antimicrobial thin films are proposed. ...

In this work, we have studied the influence of the substrate surface condition on the roughness and the structure of the nanostructured DLC films deposited by High Density Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition. Four methods ...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films with tunable optical bandgap (E-g) were successfully deposited on glass and n-Si (100) substrates by radio frequency (RF)-sputtering technique in different argon (Ar) and acetylene (C2H2) ...

This work presents the fabrication of two-dimensional diffraction gratings in diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films, with applications in computer-generated holography and micro optics. In order to achieve high diffraction ...
