Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

We have obtained and analyzed the optical transmission spectra of diamond-like carbon films deposited on quartz substrates by pulsed laser deposition (λ = 1064 nm, τ = 20 nsec, q = 4.9·108 W/cm2) under vacuum (p = 2.6·10−3 Pa). Based on the spectra obtained, we have estimated the size of the bandgap by the Tauc method, and also have studied the growth dynamics of the coatings formed.
