The discovery of diamonds in metamorphic rocks of continental affinities occurred shortly
after the discovery of coesite in similar rocks. These important discoveries led to a revolution …

The optimization of diamond films as valuable engineering materials for a wide variety of
applications has required the development of robust methods for their characterization. Of …

We report on the Raman and photoluminescence characterization of three-dimensional
microstructures fabricated in single crystal diamond with a Focused Ion Beam (FIB) assisted …

The amorphization and graphitization of single-crystal diamond by ion implantation were
explored using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of ion implantation and …

This paper reports the fully-relaxed lattice and electronic structures, vibrational spectra, and
hyperfine coupling constants of the substitutional N s defect in diamond, derived from B3LYP …

Single-crystalline diamond plates were implanted by He+ ions with a set of energies and
fluences that ensure uniform radiation damage (RD) in a 670-nm-thick layer. Implantation is …

Disordering of crystal lattice induced by irradiation with fast neutrons and other high-energy
particles is used for the deep modification of electrical and optical properties of diamonds via …

In this work, phosphorus ions have been implanted with various doses at an energy 100 keV
on single crystal (100) diamond. We try to understand the local lattice distortions (disorder) …

Diamonds approaching the nanoscale have the potential for use as probe materials as their
optical properties can be sensitive to optical/electric fields, mechanical stress/pressure, and …

We describe a particularly stable isolated divacancy [V C C V] in diamond, in which the
two vacant sites are separated by two bonded carbons. Its structure, vibrational properties …
