Raman spectra of nanocrystalline carbon nitride synthesized on cobalt-covered substrate by nitrogen-atom-beam-assisted pulsed laser ablation Available to Purchase

Nanocrystalline carbon nitride films were synthesized on cobalt-covered Si(111) wafers using a nitrogen-atom-beam-assisted pulsed laser ablation method. Raman spectroscopy and other analyses showed that as-synthesized films were constructed primarily from nanometer-sized $β-C3N4$ and $CNx$ crystallites. Catalyzation by the cobalt in the synthesis process is considered to play an important role in the formation of nanocrystalline $β-C3N4.$ The effect of the experimental conditions on the characters of the as-synthesized films has been discussed.
