摘要
The microstructure of a carbon nitride (CNx) film formed by ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This film was formed on the Si (100) substrate by IBAD with an N/C transport ratio of 1. Three different spacings (0.34 nm, 0.21 nm, 0.12 nm) were observed by transmission electron diffraction (TED) and the periodic structure corresponding to the spacing of 0.34 nm was aligned perpendicular to the substrate. The bending of this plane resembled a carbon nanotube; therefore, it seemed reasonable to suppose that the CNx film obtained consisted of numerous carbon-nanotube-like structural elements grown vertically: relative to the substrate, and it also seemed appropriate that these structural elements should be termed nanotube-like carbon nitride.
