Abstract Basic knowledge of the interfacial interactions, contact deformation, and structure changes in amorphous carbon (a-C) ultrathin films due to irreversible deformation is of critical importance to the protective effectiveness of these films. This paper presents a molecular dynamics (MD) analysis that reveals the role of surface passivation on the contact deformation and adhesion characteristics of ultrathin (
