Abstract

We report results of steel substrates coated with hard amorphous carbon and with diamond films. In order to enhance the adherence to the substrate, steel substrates were pretreated by means of a silicon ion beam. Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze the structure of silicon interface while the elastic recoil detection analysis method was applied to determine their composition and thickness. The a-C adherence to the substrate and hardness were also tested. The diamond films were observed by SEM.
