Using atomic-scale defects in diamond, researchers in China have gained unprecedented insights into the complex chemical ...
Overheating is one of the biggest problems facing modern electronics, from smartphones to powerful data centers. Now, researchers at Rice University have developed a new way to grow patterned diamond ...
Processing diamond surfaces with femtosecond lasers yields a trade-off between hydrophilicity and low defect rate.
A new technical titled “The effects of sub-monolayer laser etching on the chemical and electrical properties of the (100) diamond surface” was published by researchers at Macquarie University and MIT.
As shown in the above figure, energy beam-based direct and assisted polishing technologies utilize lasers, ion beams, or plasma to ablate, impact, or modify the diamond surface, thereby reducing ...
Researchers from Dalian University of Technology have developed a novel photocatalytic chemical mechanical polishing (PCMP) slurry tailored for Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) polishing, which achieves ...
(Nanowerk News) Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to ...
(Nanowerk News) Synthetic diamond is durable, inert, rigid, thermally conductive and chemically well-behaved – an elite material for both quantum and conventional electronics. But there’s one problem.
To expand the potential use of diamond in semiconductor and quantum technologies, researchers are developing improved processes for growing the material at lower temperatures that won't damage the ...
