The versatility of the arrangement of C atoms with the formation of different allotropes and
phases has led to the discovery of several new structures with unique properties. Carbon …

Carbon-based nanostructures (CBNs) have attracted immense attention from biomedical
researchers due to their unique combination of extraordinary mechanical, thermal, electrical …

A newly discovered quenched form of carbon, widely known as Q-carbon, thin films are
synthesized by the direct conversion of the amorphous carbon layer using the nanosecond …

Herein we report a method to tailor the surface of silicon-incorporated diamond-like carbon
(Si-DLC) thin films to enhance the diamond nucleation density and growth. In this technique …

In this study, we prepared Q-carbon by adjusting the sp 3 content in diamond-like carbon
(DLC) films and the laser energy density of pulsed laser annealing (PLA). The amorphous …

We report on the synthesis of multifunctional microdiamonds by chemical vapor deposition
(CVD) on 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steel (SS) substrates. The increase in wettability …

Formation of continuous and adherent diamond films on practical substrates presents a
formidable challenge due to lack of diamond nucleation sites needed for diamond growth …

We describe the formation of highly uniform Quenched-carbon (Q-carbon) layers by plasma-
enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) followed by low-energy Ar+ ion …

Q-carbon, an allotrope of carbon, exhibits exciting functional properties and robust
mechanical strength. We propose that the surface of the Q-carbon can be functionalized by …

Herein we report the conversion of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) into< 110>
nanodiamonds via a melting route using pulsed laser annealing (PLA). The converted …
