Abstract

Carbon thin films have been deposited by DC magnetron sputtering at different substrate temperatures ranging from 200 K to 400 K. The influence of the preparation substrate temperature on the elastic properties has been evidenced by means of the High Resolution Brillouin Spectroscopy. Thus, the surface acoustic wave (SAW) velocity evolution could be assessed for the different samples. The observed variation is analysed in terms of the relative population of sp2 allotropes phases forming the film.
