Abstract
Resonant Raman spectroscopy has been used to study amorphous hydrogenated carbon films. For films containing both sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon a well‐defined high‐frequency shift of the main Raman peak is observed with increasing exciting photon energy. This shift is interpreted in terms of scattering from π‐bonded carbon clusters which is resonantly enhanced for incident photon energies approaching the π–π* resonance.
