Understanding materials with dimensions down to a few nanometers is of major importance
for fundamental science as well as prospective applications. Structural transformation and …

High-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) nanodiamonds originate from grinding of diamond
microcrystals obtained by HPHT synthesis. Here we report on a simple two-step approach to …

We investigate the aerobic oxidation of high-pressure, high-temperature nanodiamonds (5–
50 nm dimensions) using a combination of carbon and oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption …

Structural characterization of nanodiamonds by vibrational spectroscopy requires
knowledge of the factors determining the spectra. Raman spectroscopy is widely used to …

Diamond properties down to the quantum-size region are still poorly understood. High-
pressure high-temperature (HPHT) synthesis from chloroadamantane molecules allows …

Detonation nanodiamonds (DND) with different surface chemical and structural features
were characterized using multiwavelength Raman analysis, from deep UV to more …

The qualitative analysis of nanodiamonds by FTIR spectrometry as photoacoustic (FTIR–
PAS), diffuse-reflectance (DRIFT), and attenuated total reflection (ATR) modalities was …

Despite their name, nanodiamonds (ND) are comprised of a complex interplay of different
carbon phases. The diamond core is surrounded by the shell consisting mostly of disordered …

Following our previous brief communication the carbonization of halogenated adamantanes
C 10 H 14 Br 2 and C 10 H 15 Cl under high pressure with the aim to produce …

Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) has become a widely studied material with many
potential applications in nanotechnology due to its attractive thermal, mechanical, and …
