Electron structure investigations of homogeneous hydrocarbon films formed in plasma conditions of T-10 tokamak

Electron structure investigations of smooth hydrocarbon thick films with a high atomic D/C ratio, redeposited from deuterium plasma discharge onto the vacuum vessel regions of the T-10 tokamak, are continued. For the first time, the investigations of both film sides and in a valence band region were performed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, combined with “conventional” measurements of survey spectra, C1 s , O1 s core levels, and by using Auger X-ray electron spectroscopy for sp 2 / sp 3 ratio determination. The distinctions of electron structure of both sides of flakes which were noticed earlier using another techniques, were found, differing from the structure of thin films deposited in cleaning discharges of a low-temperature plasma. It is shown how these differences are connected with different processes of film deposition in tokamaks.
