Hydrogenated amorphous carbon films were irradiated at room temperature both with ion beams and laser pulses. Ion irradiation was performed with 300 keV Ar+ ions at current densities of about 1 μA cm−2 and the average density release was of about 1024–1025 eV cm−3, while laser irradiation was performed with a Ruby laser (0.694 μm) with an energy flow of 0.1–1.2 J cm−2 and an energy release of about 1022 eV cm−3. The electronic and atomic structure of irradiated layers were investigated by optical measurements in the range 1–6 eV and Raman spectroscopy in the region of CC stretching modes (1000–2000 cm−1). It was found that laser irradiation shows a stronger efficiency with respect to ion beam bombardment in the modification of the film structure. Moreover Raman spectroscopy shows a progressive growth of the trigonal carbon component with respect to the tetrahedral one with increasing energy deposited inside the sample. The differences between ion and photon energy release mechanisms and a comparison with thermal processes are discussed in terms of primary interaction with the molecular constituents of the samples.
