Abstract

The influence of hydrogen on the structure and properties of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) is studied by tight-binding molecular-dynamics simulations. The results show that hydrogen tends to break carbon-carbon bonds in ta-C. Reduction of C-C coordinations makes ta-C softer and introduces more electronic states in the energy-gap region.
