Notes.

(a)

Electronic stopping power, calculated using the SRIM-2013 code (Ziegler et al. 2010), with an H/C of 1 and a density of 1.2g/cm3 (as in Godard et al. 2011).

(b)

CH bonds destruction cross section determined by fitting an exponential function exp(σ × fluence) to the CH column density evolution with fluence shown in the insets of Figs. 1 and 4.

(c)

Column density of CH bonds locked in the CH2 and CH3 group of the a-C:H film. See Sect. 3.1 for details.

(d)

Fraction of initial NCH modified upon irradiation.
