Highly Conductive Ultrananocrystalline Diamond Thin Films via Nitrogen Incorporation
Diamond has many superlative properties that make it an ideal candidate for a number of different mechanical and electronic applications. One of the biggest limiting factors has been the lack of n-type diamond films with suitable conductivity. This work demonstrates a method to fabricate a highly …

Characterization of Diamond-Semiconductor Interfaces
The extremely high thermal conductivity of diamond thin films makes them an ideal candidate for heat spreaders that can be integrated with electronic devices. By more effectively dissipating the heat generated during operation device dimensions can be shrunk increasing yield, performance losses due …

Control of Optical Processes in Diamond using Plasmonic Nanogap Cavities
… emitter is the silicon vacancy (SiV) in diamond, which offers excellent photostability and minimal spectral diffusion, in addition to coherent emission at its zero-phonon line (ZPL) comprising 80% of its total fluorescence. In this dissertation, up to 121-fold enhancement of the …

Electrical characterisation of defects in wide bandgap semiconductors.
… semiconducting materials (polycrystalline diamond and GaN) which have both recently attracted a great deal of attention because of their potential applications in the fields of power electronics and optoelectronics. Raman spectroscopy, I-V and C-V measurements were carried out as supporting …

Diamond seeding process for the heterogenous integration of high quality diamond on semiconductors
Diamond thin films grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) have a wide band gap, high hardness, chemical inertness, and high thermal conductivity, making them an attractive material for a wide range of applications. Due to high surface energy and low sticking probability of diamond, it is …

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of Homo-Epitaxial Chemical Vapor Deposited Diamond (100) Films
… chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) grown epitaxial diamond (100) films obtained in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) are reported. A (2x1) dimer surface reconstruction and amorphous atomic regions were observed on the hydrogen terminated (100) surface. The (2x1) unit …
