Abstract
The isotopic effect on the infrared spectra is used to determine the existence of nitrogen–hydrogen bonds in amorphous carbon–nitrogen alloys (a-CNx) prepared by dual-ion-beam-assisted deposition. The deuteration experiments and the evolution of the infrared spectra upon atmospheric exposure show that hydroxyls are incorporated from atmospheric moisture.
