Abstract
The local carbon-carbon bonding in evaporated (-C) and ion-sputtered (-C) amorphous carbon has been investigated by transmission electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and by () spectroscopy. The EELS data indicate that the -C is graphiclike and the -C is diamondlike. The () data demonstrate that the concentration of bonding is ∼100% in both materials () for -C and for -C). There is significant rehybridization of the orbital in -C.
