Abstract
Thin carbon films on the surface of aluminum containing native oxide were prepared at room temperature by electrochemical deposition from a solution of lithium acetylenide in dimethylsulfoxide. The structure of the coatings obtained was studied by scanning tunnel microscopy and spectroscopy. The mechanical characteristics of carbon coatings were found to depend strongly on the main parameters determining deposition conditions. The presence of a considerable amount of sp 3 carbon (diamond-like phases) in the films was substantiated.
