In this work we quantify and characterise the effects of air-oxidation on nitrogen-vacancy
defect luminescence in both high-temperature-high-pressure and detonation synthesized …

Diamond surface oxidation by atomic oxygen, annealing up to∼ 700 C⁠, and in situ
exposure to thermally activated hydrogen were studied by high resolution electron energy …

The chemical bonding and morphology of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond films
exposed to thermal (∼ 0.04 eV) and hyperthermal (5 and 7.5 eV) atomic oxygen (AO) were …

The surface chemistry governs most of the physical and chemical properties of
nanodiamonds (NDs). X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy is a method of choice to …

This article reports on the use of high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy
(HREELS) for the investigation of as-grown (hydrogen-terminated) and oxidized …

Here we report the size reduction and effects on nitrogen-vacancy centres in nanodiamonds
by air oxidation using a combined atomic force and confocal microscope. The average …

This work aims at studying the different chemical bonds formed on hydrogenated
nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films after oxidation. Three different oxidation treatments …

Thermally annealed nanodiamond has been functionalized by C–C coupling of the partially
graphitized diamond surface using aryl diazonium salts. Depending on the terminal …

Nanodiamonds have excellent mechanical and optical properties, high surface areas and
tunable functional surfaces. They are also non-toxic, which makes them well suited for …

Diamond materials span a wide range of attractive physical properties, including large
mechanical resistance, high thermal conductivity, and tunable optoelectronic behavior when …
