Abstract

Four types of diamond films have been shown to be stable and free from hydrogen: crystalline diamond, amorphic diamond, i-C and defected graphite. Each is significantly harder than other forms of carbon, but only now are quantitative values of hardness being reported. In this work nanoindentation techniques were used on these highly elastic films and linear ranges of plastic response were identified. Values of hardness were extracted from the on-load data for amorphic diamond and crystalline diamond that could not be distinguished from the hardness of naturally occurring diamond. This seems to explain why thin layers of amorphic diamond have been so effective in protecting substrates from the erosive impacts of particles and droplets reported in previous studies.
