Diamond with an ultra-wide bandgap shows intrinsic performance that is extraordinarily
superior to those of the currently available wide-bandgap semiconductors for deep …

The helium ion microscope has emerged as a multifaceted instrument enabling a broad
range of applications beyond imaging in which the finely focused helium ion beam is used …

The focused ion beam (FIB) is a powerful tool for fabrication, modification, and
characterization of materials down to the nanoscale. Starting with the gallium FIB, which was …

The paper provides a literature review on the effect of ion irradiation on ceramic materials.
The effects of ion irradiation on metals and alloys are compared with those on ceramics …

We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to deform single crystal spherical carbon
nanoparticles (NP), 4–45 nm diameter, with a hard, flat indenter, compressing along the …

As a third-generation semiconductor material, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond
single crystals find crucial applications in electronic devices. While focused ion beam (FIB) …

Diamond coating has poor toughness due to its super hardness, which is liable to cause
peeling or fracture of coating. In this work, a novel deposition method combining the …

Diamond nanostructures are mostly produced from bulk diamond (single-or polycrystalline)
by using time-consuming and/or costly subtractive manufacturing methods. In this study, we …

Gallium ion implantation is an important solution to modify the physical properties of
diamonds, in which the critical condition of gallium ion implantation-induced amorphization …

The universe abounds with solid helium in polymorphic forms. Therefore, exploring the
allotropes of helium remains vital to our understanding of nature. However, it is challenging …
