Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were irradiated with swift heavy ion beams of varying energy and angles of incidence. The irradiation created electrically conducting tracks in the DLC-films by transforming sp³ into sp² bonds. The DLC-films were analyzed by conductive atomic force microscopy. The images were used to identify ion impact sites, and I-V-Spectroscopy was applied to determine the conductivity of the tracks. High energy ions (2,2 GeV, Au²⁵⁺) created tracks with ohmic conductivity in the case of perpendicular bombardment, whereas grazing irradiation results in tracks that show mainly tunneling behavior. Low energy ions (100 MeV, Xe²³⁺) created tracks which exhibit tunneling behaviour after perpendicular incidence irradiation, but irradiation under 1^∘ did not result in conductive tracks.
