摘要
This article gives an overview about the application of X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) used for the analysis of carbon thin films. We present the results of an X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) study of CVD diamond, a-C and CNx films on Si (100) as well as a defect analysis of a hard disc scratch test. The sp(2)/sp(3) ratio of the carbon films was determined and mapped in the electron micrographs, which show localized defects in the surface. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
