A molecular dynamics study of the oxidation mechanism, nanostructure evolution, and friction characteristics of ultrathin amorphous carbon films in vacuum and oxygen atmosphere

Abstract Amorphous carbon (a-C) films are characterized by extraordinary chemical inertness and unique thermophysical properties that are critical to applications requiring oxidation-resistant, low-friction, and durable overcoats. However, the increasing demands for ultrathin (a few nanometers thick...
