Abstract
The structure of amorphous carbon layers thicker than 10 µm, obtained from a pulse plasma has been studied. Their hardness, friction coefficient and response to the action of a uniaxial force were determined. The conclusions from X-ray diffraction data, especially from the atomic radial distribution, from annealing experiments and from investigation of the mechanical properties are complementary to one another.
