Applications of Diamond-Like (Hard Carbon) Films

  • Chapter
Diamond and Diamond-like Films and Coatings

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 266))

Abstract

Pure diamond has excellent mechanical and infra red properties and would make an ideal window material were it readily available. Synthetic diamond films can be grown with good infra red transmission and used as protective coatings. Many coating requirements can already be met using diamond-like carbon films. This paper reviews the progress.
