Magic-sized diamond nanocrystals.
The 2D structural transformation of a heavily boron-doped diamond surface has been revealed using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We found that at boron densities above the metal-insulator transition the diamond surface is comprised of spatially ordered magic-sized nanocrystals. The development of quantized electron gas inside these nanocrystals is directly confirmed by STM observation of ...
متن کاملNonclassical radiation from diamond nanocrystals
The quantum properties of the fluorescence light emitted by diamond nanocrystals containing a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) colored center is investigated. We have observed photon antibunching with very low background light. This system is therefore a very good candidate for the production of single photon on demand. In addition, we have measured larger NV center lifetime in nanocrystals than in...
متن کاملSurface Structure of Aerobically Oxidized Diamond Nanocrystals
We investigate the aerobic oxidation of high-pressure, high-temperature nanodiamonds (5-50 nm dimensions) using a combination of carbon and oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption, wavelength-dependent X-ray photoelectron, and vibrational spectroscopies. Oxidation at 575 °C for 2 h eliminates graphitic carbon contamination (>98%) and produces nanocrystals with hydroxyl functionalized surfaces as well as...
متن کاملGround states of group-IV nanostructures: Magic structures of diamond and silicon nanocrystals
We have developed an effective model to investigate the energetic stability of hydrogenated group-IV nanostructures, followed by validations from density-functional theory calculations. The Hamiltonian of XmHn (X = C, Si, Ge, and Sn) is expressed analytically by the atom numbers (m, n) and the magic numbers of diamond nanocrystals and silicon nanocrystals are determined. It is found that surfac...
متن کاملEstablished and Supposed Examples of Meteoritic Craters and Structures
Meteor Crater of Arizona, three-quarters of a mile across and' six hundred feet deep,, with its walls of tilted and faulted strata and its encircling high rim of pulverized and brecciated rock, is a spectacle for the student of land forms, of geologic structures, and of katamorphic processes. Standing on its rim, one is imp,ressed by the fact that craterforming meteorites are extraterrestrial a...
