Diamond properties are significantly affected by crystallite size. High surface to volume
fractions result in enhanced disorder, sp 2 bonding, hydrogen content and scattering of …

As long as the carbon family materials are pristine, powerful methods for their individual
characterization have been established and well understood. However, as soon as these …

Nanodiamond or nanocrystalline diamond is a broad term used to describe a plethora of
materials. It is generally accepted that nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) consists of facets less …

We report on the electronic and optical properties of boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond
(NCD) thin films grown on quartz substrates by CH 4/H 2 plasma chemical vapor deposition …

Ultrananocrystalline diamond is a unique form of carbon with grain sizes in the 3–5 nm
region. This nanostructure has profound implications on electronic transport, as∼ 10% of …

Further progress in the development of the remarkable electrochemical, electron field
emission, high-temperature diode, and optical properties of n-type ultrananocrystalline …

Existing approaches for creating durable nanochannels are complex, expensive, and time-
consuming. Here, a novel approach is presented in which a femtosecond laser is used to …

Nanocrystalline diamond films thinner than 140nm are demonstrated to exhibit Young's
moduli as high as single crystal and microcrystalline bulk diamond when grown under …

A microwave plasma model of a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) reactor is presented for
understanding spatial heteroepitaxial growth of polycrystalline diamond on Si. This work is …

Diamond is emerging as an attractive third‐generation wide‐bandgap semiconductor for
future on‐chip nonlinear photonics and quantum optics due to its unique thermal, optical …
