In this work, the effect of iodine incorporation on the electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility (χ) and magnetoresistance (MR) of amorphous conducting carbon (a-C) films has been discussed. Variation in conductivity of a-C films depends on the sample preparation conditions and iodine concentration. Evidence of metal–insulator (M–I) transition as a function of pyrolysis temperature is observed for iodinated (a-C:I) samples. The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility of a-C:I sample shows a Curie behavior at low temperatures. The positive magnetoresistance is observed for all the samples irrespective of the conduction regimes. This is accounted by the electron–electron interaction in the a-C:I system.
