Abstract
The surface properties of amorphous carbon ( a−C) are studied using first-principles electronic structure methods. The effect of nitrogen doping near the surface and, in particular, the effect of nitrogen on the work function is studied by doing a series of nitrogen substitutions near the surface. It is found that the work function is reduced by nitrogen doping of the a−C surface at “on top of the surface” sp1 and sp2 sites. Nitrogen doping by low energy ion bombardment is suggested as a doping method to minimize work function of the a−C surfaces.Description
