In the next paper by Y. Illin et al., capabilities of Sn anodes are considered as a possible alternative to carbon. Thin films of Sn were deposited onto current collector in vacuum, and tested in the coin cells. Authors were able to obtain reversible alloying reaction, which stabilized at 100 mAh/g between cycle number 100 and 400. The stability of Sn and its characteristics upon cycling was seen to be a function of the current collector material. The best results were achieved with non-copper-based substrates. 

Batley [780] examined the techniques available for the in situ electrodeposition of lead and cadmium in seawater. These included anodic scanning voltammetry at a glass carbon thin film electrode and the hanging drop mercury electrode in the presence of oxygen, and in situ electrodeposition on mercury-coated graphite tubes. 

Batley [28] examined the techniques available for the in situ electrodeposition of lead and cadmium in estuary water. These included anodic stripping voltammetry at a glass carbon thin film electrode and the hanging drop mercury electrode in the presence of oxygen and in situ electrodeposition on mercury coated graphite tubes. Batley [28] found that in situ deposition of lead and cadmium on a mercury coated tube was the more versatile technique. The mercury film, deposited in the laboratory, is stable on the dried tubes which are used later for field electrodeposition. The deposited metals were then determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry, Hasle and Abdullah [29] used differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry in speciation studies on dissolved copper, lead, and cadmium in coastal sea water.

An example of local anodic oxidatition (LAO) on 10 nm thick carbon stripe on silicon oxide in air is shown in Fig. 1 [2]. The depth and width of the oxidized gaps depend on the probe tip radii. The LAO method for carbon thin films is attractive because carbon oxide is a result of oxidation. 

Sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca), concentrations were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (Perkin Elmer 2380 equipped with deuterium background corrector). Cd, Zr, and Cu concentrations were obtained in a quartz cell, by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) with a assy carbon thin-film mercury covered electrode (Tacussel polarographic equipment fitted with a Tacussel EDI type electrode). Pure water was produced by a Milli. Q water purification system (Millipore). Chlorate, sulfate and carbonate were measured using classical methods.

In the following we present a Raman spectroscopy characterization of sp carbon chains embedded in a nanostructured carbon thin film deposited by SCBD. The evolution of sp carbon chains when exposed to different inert or reactive atmospheres (He, Ni, H2 and dry air), or when annealed in vacuum at various temperatures up to 200°C, has been followed by monitoring the variation of the Raman peaks associated with polyynes and polycumulenes in order to achieve detailed information about the chemical and thermodynamic stability of these species. 

Nanostructured carbon thin films containing carbynoid species were grown by SCBD of carbon clusters produced by a pulsed microplasma cluster source (PMCS, schematically shown in Figure 2.1) [27].

Here we present some results concerning the role that ion irradiation has in 1. modifying cluster assembled carbon thin films obtained by low energy cluster beam deposition (LECBD) and containing a cabynoid component and 2. producing carbynoid-like materials after irradiation of solid frozen benzene and of asphaltite, a natural bitumen.

The carbon thin films have been irradiated with 200 keV Ar" " ions and their IR spectrum obtained in situ before, during and after irradiation, by an FTIR spectrometer (Bruker Equinox 55).

The structures of the composites were observed by using trsnsmission electron microscopy ITEM). The samples were prepared by dissolving the composites iri m-cresoi and placing drops on a carbon thin film which was supported by an electron microscope grid. Radii ol the dispersed parlictes were elso measured directly with TEM.
