The exposure of H-terminated nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) to ultraviolet (UV) light in air
and at room temperature modifies the features of the diamond surface, in terms of wettability …

In this work we describe the effect of oxidation on undoped nanocrystalline H-terminated
CVD diamond films. Surface oxidation was performed using UV photons in air and in pure …

Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films are ideal to realize platform for bio-chemical
sensors. They interface in a very specific way with the environment and the surface …

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

Diamond is a material with quite a number of excellent properties, like extreme hardness,
high elastic modulus, high wear resistance, optical transparency in a broad spectral range …

Various oxidation techniques (plasma-beam, sulfo-chromic acid, UV-ozone, heating in air)
were applied to single-crystalline (111) and (100) diamond surfaces as well as …

Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films are of great importance for many applications. They
can be implemented as transparent protective coatings or for the use in electronic devices …

The structural and electronic properties of nanocrystalline diamond films synthesized by a
modified hot-filament chemical vapour deposition process were investigated by both bulk …

The chemistry of oxygen bonding on the diamond surface is a rich area of surface science
research. It is well known that different surface terminations lead to strong variation of the …

In this work, we show that ultra nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) surfaces have been
modified to add them hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. The nanocrystalline diamond …
