Q-carbon is a densely packed metastable phase of carbon formed by ultrafast quenching of
carbon melt in a super-undercooled state. After quenching, diamond tetrahedra are …

Formation of continuous and adherent diamond films on practical substrates presents a
formidable challenge due to lack of diamond nucleation sites needed for diamond growth …

This paper reports for the first time the formation and self-organization of amorphous Q-
carbon and Q-BN nanoballs. This is accomplished by nanosecond laser melting of carbon …

Q‑carbon is a densely-packed metastable phase of carbon, which is harder than diamond. It
is formed by nanosecond laser melting and ultrafast quenching of amorphous carbon films …

We report the formation of Q-carbon nanolayers, Q-carbon nanoballs, nanodiamonds,
microdiamonds, and their composites by controlling laser and substrate variables. The …

We report formation of self-organized nanodiamond ring structures due to dynamical
heterogeneity in super undercooled carbon, created by nanosecond laser melting of …

We report the discovery of Q-silicon with an atomic density of 60% higher than crystalline
silicon while keeping the bonding characteristics the same as normal silicon. Distinct …

In this study, we describe reducing the moisture vapor transmission through a commercial
polymer bag material using a silicon-incorporated diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) coating …

We present 1D, 2D and 3D structures of boron-doped Q-carbon with a higher
superconducting transition temperature than the current value of 55 K in 25 at% B-doped …

We present the atomic structures and nonequilibrium synthesis of a new class of materials,
where the basic structural unit is a diamond tetrahedron. When units of one, two, and three …
