Diamonds are widely used for jewelry owing to their superior optical properties accounting
for their fascinating beauty. Beyond the sparkle, diamond is highly investigated in materials …

Fluorescent nanodiamonds are frequently used as biolabels. They have also recently been
established for magnetic resonance and temperature sensing at the nanoscale level. To …

Diamond is a textbook example of a material with extreme properties. For example, diamond
displays the highest thermal conductivity, Young's modulus, hardness, and atomic density of …

Acoustic properties of buried graphitized layers in diamond formed by ion implantation
followed by annealing were studied using the picosecond ultrasonic technique with spatial …

Single-crystal diamond presents as an ideal semiconductor material for high-performance
and high-reliability MEMS devices, on account of its outstanding mechanical and physical …

Single-crystalline diamond plates were implanted by He+ ions with a set of energies and
fluences that ensure uniform radiation damage (RD) in a 670-nm-thick layer. Implantation is …

We have undertaken a study of the common green or orange-brown spots at the surface of
rough diamond specimens, which are caused by alpha particles emanating from radioactive …

A combined experimental and numerical study on the variation of the elastic properties of
defective single-crystal diamond is presented for the first time, by comparing nano …

This paper describes in detail a novel manufacturing process for optical gratings suitable for
use in the UV and soft X-ray regimes in a single-crystal diamond substrate based on highly …

While the phonon-drag effect can induce large Seebeck coefficients, it is associated with
large mean free path phonons present in the vicinity of the maximum in temperature of the …
