Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Foils
Micromatter (Advanced Applied Physics Solutions)
An intense laser beam is used to evaporate carbon from a graphitic sputter target. In the process, the graphite structure of the source material is converted into nano-particles, which deposit on prepared substrates as diamond-like carbon. The properties of these unique carbon foils make them useful in a variety of applications, in particular beam stripping, as backings for accelerator targets or x-ray attenuators.
