Amorphous deuterated-hydrogenated carbon thin-film infrared absorption spectrum

Abstract
We have grown amorphous deuterated-hydrogenated carbon thin films by plasma deposition of deuterated acetylene. The infrared absorption spectra of these thin films consist of C-H and C-D stretching bands and CH2, CHD, and CD2 bending bands. The luminescence spectra show weak periodic sidebands with the same period as those of amorphous hydrogenated carbon.
