A novel beam position monitor, operated at zero bias voltage, based on high-quality chemical-vapor-deposition single-crystal Schottky diamond for use under intense synchrotron X-ray beams was fabricated and tested. The total thickness of the diamond thin-film beam monitor is about 60 µm. The diamond beam monitor was inserted in the B16 beamline of the Diamond Light Source synchrotron in Harwell...

This paper presents fast recursive or moving windows algorithms for calculating local means in a diamond, hexagon and general polygonal shaped windows of an image. The algorithms for diamond shaped window require only seven or eight additions and subtractions per pixel. A number of other shapes of diamond windows such as skewed or parallelogram shaped diamond, long diamond, and lozenged diamond...

Diamond coatings made by processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) have been increasingly explored for cutting tools applications, in particular, for machining lightweight high-strength materials. However, most literature to date reported that the wear resistance of CVD diamond tools is still distant to the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) counterparts. Recently, a microwave plasma-assiste...

skills of more useful and effective use of time is the key to management and organizations success.organization managers for obtimal use of time and prevention to time consumption, for development of time management, should know how to operate and use the time and exigency of using diamond model. checking and explication of the way of using manager’s time and recognizing of consumption factors,...

The fourth in a series of workshops was held at NIST on March 4-5, 1996 to discuss, in depth. specific topics deemed important to the characterization of diamond films made by chemical vapor deposition (CVD diamond) and to address the need for standards in diamond technology. There were 28 registered participants at the workshop. We focussed on two technical topics for discussion: adhesion of C...

We demonstrate the construction of diamond photonic crystal structures by the translation of a multi-beam interference pattern. Using phase shift of each beam, the double-exposed interference patterns can be aligned in the [111] direction for a face-centered cubic (FCC) and [210] direction for a body-centered cubic (BCC), respectively, producing diamond D from FCC and BCC-diamond like structure...

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, ...
