Properties of hydrogen terminated diamond as a photocathode.

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of deuterated diamond like carbon films for photocathode application

The influence of diamond like carbon films properties on quantum efficiency of prepared transmission photocathodes has been investigated. DLC films were deposited on silicon substrate and stainless steel mesh by PECVD using methane, argon and hydrogen or deuterium gas mixtures. Photocathodes prepared with deuterated DLC film have higher quantum efficiency than photocathodes prepared with hydrog...

Polycrystalline diamond films as prospective UV photocathodes

Polycrystalline diamond films grown by chemical vapor deposition have been considered recently for a number of UV detection applications. Negative electron affinity, chemical and mechanical stability and relative ease of fabrication make such films attractive candidates for effective and stable UV photoconverters. In this paper we present our study of the absolute quantum efficiency of a thin f...

Theoretical Studies of the Adsorption and Migration Behavior of Boron Atoms on Hydrogen-Terminated Diamond (001) Surface

Abstract: The adsorption and migration activation energies of boron atoms on a hydrogen-terminated diamond (001) surface were calculated using first principles methods based on density functional theory. The values were then used to investigate the behavior of boron atoms in the deposition process of B-doped diamond film. On the fully hydrogen-terminated surface, the adsorption energy of a boro...

The chemistry of C-H bond activation on diamond.

The surface of hydrogen-terminated diamond resembles a solid hydrocarbon substrate. Interestingly, the C-H bonds on the diamond surface are not as unreactive as that of saturated hydrocarbon molecules owing to its unique surface electronic properties. The invention of C-H bond activation and C-C coupling reactions on the diamond surface allows chemists to develop powerful chemical transistors, ...
