Abstract:
      The ratio between intensities of the D peak and the G peak(ID/ IG)is used to estimate sp3 content of the DLC films. However, this method has limitations. When sp3 content exceeds 20%, ID/ IGhas very low correlations with the content of sp3, therefore,estimation of sp3 content using this method could lead to significant error.DC-magne-tron sputtering and multiple-arc ion plating are used to deposit a series of hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon samples. Raman spectra and Vickers hardness of samples were measured and analyzed. A strong correlation between the hardness and G-peak's full width at half maximum(FWHM)was discovered. The results show that it's feasible to measure the content of sp3 by using the G-peak's FWHM in Raman spectra.
