Spectroscopy of smooth deuterated carbon films redeposited from plasma discharge in the tokamak T-10

Abstract

Smooth deuterated carbon films redeposited from a deuterium plasma discharge in the tokamak T-10 vacuum chamber have been investigated by different spectroscopic methods and temperature measurements. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of sp 3-sp 2 nanostructures of tokamak films and sp 2 nanostructures of fullerite C60 films are compared. The effect of defect states on the photoluminescence and its temperature quenching is discussed. It is concluded that the mechanism of thermal luminescence quenching for smooth deuterated tokamak films is close to the corresponding mechanism for amorphous a-C:H films.
