Abstract

A high-intensity ion beam (500 keV, current density 60 - 200 a/cm2, power density (0.25 - 1) • 108 W/cm2, pulse duration 60 ns, pulse repetition rate 4-6 mur-1) was used to deposit thin metal and carbon films by evaporation of respective targets. the instantaneous deposition rate was 0.6 - 5 mm/s. the films were examined using transmission electron microscopy and transmission electron diffraction. the metal films had a poly-crystalline structure with the grains measuring from 20 to 100 nm, the lower the melting point the greater the grain size. the carbon films contained 25 - 125 nm diamonds. the ablation plasma was studied employing methods of pulsed spectroscopy.
