摘要
Zinc oxide/diamond-like carbon (ZnO/DLC) nanocomposite films were grown using two different composite targets, namely zinc/carbon (Zn/C) and zinc oxide/carbon (ZnO/C) targets with pulsed laser deposition technique as a comparison. In both cases, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that ZnO nanoclusters were formed embedded in an amorphous carbon matrix. Interestingly, only films obtained from ZnO/C targets yielded monochromatic UV (similar to 378 nm) emission peaks in photoluminescence. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that a higher fraction of O-2(-) ions in oxygen-rich ZnO was formed in ZnO/DLC films prepared by ZnO/C targets but with a consistently lower sp(3) content. As such, the hardness of the films decreased. However, the formation of SiC due to the deposition process improved the adhesion strength of the films, as evidenced by experimental data.
