The physical and mechanical properties, a model of formation and structure of the protective films on carbon-based

A following article runs about carbon films, their physical properties, deposition conditions and structure; advantages and disadvantages of carbon diamond-like films; à field of application; physical vapor deposition methods (PVD). A model of bound carbon atoms, implanted in an amorphous carbon matrix comes forward. According to the model, a limitation of a matrix temperature is a necessary and sufficient condition. A model of sp^3 bounding allows to estimate the whole understanding of PVD mechanism applied not only for carbon films, but also for other substances.
