Diamond nanoparticles (npD) from detonation do not undergo covalent functionalization to a
large extent, as assessed by conventional IR and NMR spectroscopy. This low level of …

Near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and Raman spectroscopies have been
used to characterize both nanocrystalline and faceted, microcrystalline diamond thin films …

Oxidation has been suggested as an effective and scalable means for industrial purification
of nanodiamond (ND) powders. However, conflicting accounts were reported with respect to …

Nanoparticles' environment, in particular pH, can strongly affect their photoluminescence
(PL). This can be especially true for the surface PL of nanodiamonds (NDs) known to be …

Fluorescent diamond nanocrystals are attracting increasing interest for a broad range of
applications, from biolabeling and single particle tracking to nanoscale magnetic field …

In depth understanding of Raman spectra of carbon nanomaterials led to the extension of
this technique from simple carbon allotrope detection (fingerprinting) to analysis of the …

We demonstrate a high-pressure, high-temperature sintering technique to form nitrogen-
vacancy-nitrogen centres in nanodiamonds. Polycrystalline diamond nanoparticle …

The structure of fine-grained diamond films with crystallite size as small as 10–50 nm has
been studied with cross-section transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy …

Combining numerous unique assets, nanodiamonds are promising nanoparticles for
biomedical applications. The present chapter focuses on the current knowledge of their …

Abstract Measurements using TGA, SEM, Raman spectroscopy and XRD reveal that
diamond oxidizes at around 750 K through oxygen impinging into the densely packed {111} …
