摘要
In this article, a method for the determination of the sp(3)/sp(2) ratio for highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films is presented. This method is an optical characterization according to the Bruggeman effective medium approximation based on simulation of the infrared reflection spectrum. The simulation reflectivity is in good agreement with the experimental spectrum, and the obtained results of sp(3) content are in good agreement with electron energy loss spectroscopy data, suggesting that this is an effective method for obtaining the sp(3)/sp(2) ratio of ta-C films.
