Abstract

The saddle-field glow discharge is modeled and electron multiplication and energy spectra are presented. The roles of the ion substrate current and ion energy at the substrate on the growth rate, hydrogen content, sp2 content and energy gap are discussed and the effects of atmospheric aging and high temperature annealing are described.
