Abstract
Hard, electrically insulating and optically transparent carbon layers have been deposited by condensing ionized molecular species, i.e. benzene. These layers exhibited macroscopic properties that could be described as “diamondlike”. High resolution electron microscopy revealed that these films can be interpreted as extremely fine-crystalline phases with coherently scattering regions of about 0.8 nm in diameter. The intensity functions obtained by electron diffraction are not consistent with those of a known carbon phase, but they may be represented by a superposition of the functions corresponding to diamond and graphite phases.
