The atomic geometry and electronic structure of diamond surfaces, both clean and with
various hydrogen and oxygen terminations, have been studied using ab initio density …

Diamond is a wide-bandgap semiconductor possessing exceptional physical and chemical
properties with the potential to miniaturize high-power electronics. Whereas boron-doped …

We report a combined experimental and modeling study of microwave-activated dilute
CH4/N2/H2 plasmas, as used for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond, under very …

The utility of diamond as an electronic material is compromised by the lack of a suitable
shallow donor. Here, ab initio theory is used to investigate the donor levels of substitutional …

Using the first-principles pseudopotential method, we have studied simultaneous isovalent
and n-type do** in diamond. We show that Si induces fully occupied isovalent levels near …

We found that very high concentrations (up to 20% vol) of nitrogen in the ethanol/hydrogen
gas mixture do not prejudice the diamond quality as determined by Raman spectroscopy …

Based on an ab initio calculation, we propose a possible shallowing of a nitrogen (N) donor
in diamond, in contrast to the traditional thinking that it is very deep. A complex defect of N …

Diamond-based junction field effect transistor can be used as non-volatile photo-switches.
The photo-controlled memory effect in these transistors arises from the absence of ionized …

Diamond synthesis by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) from carbon-containing gas
mixtures has by now long been an industrial reality, but commercial interest and investment …
