Superconductivity of boron-doped diamond, reported recently at T c= 4 K, is investigated
exploiting its electronic and vibrational analogies to M g B 2. The deformation potential of the …

Abstract n‐Type diamond formation is one of the most important issues for the electronic
application of diamond. Phosphorus is the best n‐type dopant candidate at the moment. We …

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 …

This paper summarizes recent progress in growth of ultra-pure CVD diamond, starting from
the selection proper substrates to plasma treatments for the growth of dislocation-minimized …

Subbandgap absorption of chemical-vapor-deposition diamond films, with nitrogen contents
varying from 10 to 132 ppm has been explored by the constant-photoconductivity method …

Diffusion of boron, lithium, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen into type IIa natural diamond was
studied. The diffusion was performed in two steps. First, diffusion of Li and oxygen was …

First principles methods are used to study N do** of diamondlike amorphous carbon. A
structural model containing 216 atoms is introduced, whose properties are in agreement …

In situ first-order Raman scattering was used to study the time evolution of the intratube CC
bond length of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) during slow vapor phase Cs …

Diamond is an extreme material among possible atomic aggregations in nature, and as such
has many extreme properties. This unique position makes it a fascinating subject both for …

High-purity (natural type IIa) diamonds were treated by the cold implantation rapid annealing
(CIRA) process using extremely low dose (about 104 times lower than usual), and damage …
