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 …

The growth and characteristics of nanocrystalline diamond thin films with thicknesses from
20 nm to less than 5 µm are reviewed. These materials contain between 95% and> 99.9 …

In this paper we review and provide an overview to the understanding of the chemical vapor
deposition (CVD) of diamond materials with a particular focus on the commonly used …

Ar∕ CH 4∕ H 2 gas mixtures have been used to deposit microcrystalline diamond,
nanocrystalline diamond, and ultrananocrystalline diamond films using hot filament …

This paper focuses on reporting systematic studies on the effect of the precursor gas
chemistry ratio between hydrogen/methane (H 2/CH 4) and argon (Ar) to tailor control of the …

CVD Diamond can now be deposited either in the form of single crystal homoepitaxial
layers, or as polycrystalline films with crystal sizes ranging from mm, μm or nm, and with a …

Carbon-based materials are of great technological and scientific interest in materials
science. Pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) is extensively used as a method to produce …

Does, or doesn't C2 break the glass ceiling of triple bonding? This work provides an
overview on the bonding conundrum in C2 and on the recent discussions regarding our …

The microstructural, electrical and electrochemical properties of boron-doped (ultra)-
nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films deposited from a CH4/H2/Ar source gas mixture …

CVD Diamond can now be deposited either in the form of single crystal homoepitaxial
layers, or as polycrystalline films with crystal sizes ranging from mm, μm or nm, and with a …
