Nanodiamonds (NDs) are members of the diverse structural family of nanocarbons that
includes many varieties based on synthesis conditions, post-synthesis processes, and …

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 …

Diamond thin films are known to have properties similar to bulk diamond and have
applications in both industry and fundamental studies in academia. The high surface energy …

A method for improving the nucleation density of nanocrystalline diamond growth is
demonstrated. Detonation nanodiamond powder was bead-milled and processed to stable …

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 …

Nanodiamond (ND) seeding is a well-established route toward the CVD (chemical vapor
deposition) synthesis of diamond ultrathin films. This method is based on the deposition onto …

Conspectus The heterogeneous integration of materials offers new paradigms in many
extreme applications, where single materials cannot solve the problem alone. Diamond has …

In this chapter we have presented a review of the state-of-the-art of diamond crystal growth
using high pressure high temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) …

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 …

There is growing interest in develo** diamond electrodes with defined geometries such
as, for example, micrometer-sized electrode arrays to acquire signals for electroanalysis. For …
