A tribological investigation of nanostructured carbon films performed with atomic force microscope is presented. Surface morphology is self-affine, with different correlation lengths corresponding to an inhomogeneous distribution of deposited carbon clusters. After reducing topographical effects, the friction coefficient turns out to be 0.15 (in air), with a slight dependence on the cluster distribution.

Abstract
A tribological investigation of nanostructured carbon films performed with atomic force microscope is presented. Surface morphology is self-affine, with different correlation lengths corresponding to an inhomogeneous distribution of deposited carbon clusters. After reducing topographical effects, the friction coefficient turns out to be 0.15 (in air), with a slight dependence on the cluster distribution.File in questo prodotto:
