Abstract
The fast atom beam (FAB) source offers a convenient means of investigating the influence of process variables on diamond-like carbon film formation (e.g. gas composition, energy, flux and direction). Here we describe the optical properties of films produced using a FAB source, reporting for the first time the influence of sample orientation on these properties and in particular the result that fully transparent films can be produced by mounting the sample at grazing incidence to the beam.
