Abstract
Abstract Studies carried out on the ion implantation of diamond and amorphous carbon (a-C) in its polymer-like (PAC), tetrahedral (TAC) and diamond-like (DAC) forms have been reviewed. It has been reported that implantation into amorphous carbon results in a re-ordering into a sp 2 -rich state. However, this does not explain the range of optical and electrical results which have been observed. It was shown that the resistivity variation of TAC and DAC films are similar at high doses, although the corresponding band gap data show a significant difference. Based on these data, a model for the increase of electron delocalisation with ion dose within these films is postulated. Also, the role of nascent hydrogen within the films as the ion dose is increased is discussed.
