We have intercalated carbon fibers from various sources with both single and “double” species. These include Br,, Br, followed by HN03, Br, followed by SbCl,, ICI, ICl followed by SbCl,, and ICI followed by HNO,. Electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, thermal and air stability, as well Shubnikov-deHaas measurements have been made. 143.

unusual maximum has been found in the temperature dependence of the resistivity of several low modulus PAN-based carbon fibers. Correlations between this resistivity behavior and other physical properties (Young’s modulus, strain to fracture, etc.) have been studied and the results will be reported.

investigated on the optical, electrical and structural properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C : H) films prepared from propane (C,H,) gas by the plasma CVD method. It was found that a-C:H films obtained here have very large values of 3.1 eV in the optical gap energy and show very bright white-blue photoluminescence with a peak energy of 2.75 eV. These values are the maximum. 147. Optical properties of r.f. plasma deposited and ion beam deposited amorphous carbon films
D. Mathine, A. Azim Khan, G. Bu-Abbud, J. A. Woollam, B. A. Banks and S. Domitz (University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Department of Electrical Engineering, W194 Nebraska Hall, Lincoln, NE 68588, U.S.A.). We have used ion beam sputtering and
plasma deposition to prepare diamond-like carbon films on silicon, gallium arsenide and silica glass. We have measured the optical dielectric constant and extinction coefficient in the visible spectrum, and have evaluated the interface electrical properties with semiconductors using high frequency conductance measurements. The effects of annealing on electrical, optical and structural properties are discussed.

Carbon-fiber/CVD-carbon composites were made by chemical vapor deposition of propane-hydrogen mixtures at 1300°C. Three types of matrix components were obtained. Magnetoresistance was measured at 4.2 K for these components and for those heattreated to 1400°C. The data reflect microstructures of the matrix components. The results are in agreement with those of the optical microscope observations. 145. Hall measurements of metallic carrier densities in ion irradiated amorphous carbon films
