Abstract

Summary form only given. Production of the superhard /spl beta/-C/sub 3/N/sub 4/ crystalline thin films now is a one of the most promising directions of laser deposition studies. Meanwhile a lot of experimental works usually resulted in C/sub 2/N phase which is proposed to be the most stable crystalline phase of CN materials under elevated temperatures (400-600/spl deg/C) of laser deposition. This thermally stable and insulating phase exhibits diamond-like resistivity with graphite-like carbon hybridization. We have studied the thermodynamic stability of CN materials by laser evaporation of a graphite-like nitrogen-rich polymer C/sub 3/N/sub 4.25/ material.
