Abstract
The surface modification of the fullerene-like hydrogenated carbon (FL-C:H) film was achieved by bombardment using Ar, H, and N ions, respectively. A systematic comparison of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transformation infrared(FTIR) spectra was made between the FL-C : H film and ion-bombarded films. The results show that ion bombardment resulted in the increase of sp3 C content, specially, new C=N bonds were formed for N-ion-bombarded film. The contact angle (CA) and friction coefficient of those films were measured. The surface free energy evaluated from the contact angle increased for ion-bombarded films, and the most obvious increase was obtained for N-ion-bombarded film. The friction coefficient decreased for H-ion-bombarded film whereas it increased for N-ion-bombarded film, and the friction coefficient of Ar-ion-bombarded film was close to that of the FL-C : H film.
