Iron nanoparticles were employed to induce the synthesis of diamond on molybdenum, silicon, and quartz substrates. Diamond films were grown using conventional conditions for diamond synthesis by hot filament chemical vapor deposition, except that dispersed iron oxide nanoparticles replaced the seeding. X-ray diffraction, visible, and ultraviolet Raman Spectroscopy, energy-filtered transmission ...

The effective chemical modification and self-assembly of diamond-based hierarchical composite materials are of key importance for a broad range of diamond applications. Herein, we report the preparation of novel core-shell diamond-based nanocomposites for dye adsorption toward wastewater treatment through a layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled strategy. The synthesis of the reported composites began ...

Several recent experiments have provided compelling evidence for stable hybrid carbon nanotubediamond structures. In experiments by Kuznetsov et al. [1,2] the formation of nanometric closed curved graphitic structures with tubular or conical forms attached to a surface of a diamond particle were observed in high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of diamond particles after...

introduction: the appropriate-use optimization of the limited spaces of the iranian hospitals is believed to be a crucial step towards promoting the efficiency of these healthcare centers. the issue determining the optimization patterns of the layout of units has led to a lot of efforts by researchers as it increases the efficiency of the hospitals through patients’ improvement, changing the lo...

background and aims. a proper bond must be created between the existing composite resin and the new one for successful repair. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of three mechanical surface treatments, using diamond bur, air abrasion, and er,cr:ysgg laser, on the repair bond strength of the silorane-based composite resin. materials and methods. sixty cylindrical composite resin spe...

objective: in this study, the effect of bur cutting efficacy was evaluated on microleakage of class v composite restorations with two adhesive systems. materials and methods: class v cavities were produced on sound extracted human teeth, which had been assigned randomly to one of six groups (n=15) as follows: groups 1 and 6 were prepared using used rough diamond bur; group 2 and 5 were prepared...

Hybrid quantum systems aim at combining the advantages of different physical and producing innovative devices. In particular, hybrid combination superconducting circuits spins in solid-state crystals is a versatile platform to explore many electrodynamics problems. Recently, remote coupling nitrogen-vacancy center diamond via bus was demonstrated. However, rigorous experimental test nature this...

This report presents a simplified surface reaction mechanism for the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of diamond thin films. The mechanism also accounts for formation of point defects in the diamond lattice, an alternate, undesirable reaction pathway. Both methyl radicals and atomic carbon are considered as growth precursors. While not rigorous in all its mechanistic details, the mechanism is us...

A computably enumerable (c.e.) Turing degree is a diamond base if and only if it is the bottom of a diamond of c.e. degrees with top 0′. Cooper and Li [3] showed that no low2 c.e. degree can bound a diamond bases. In the present paper, we show that there exists a nonlow2 c.e. degree which does not bound a diamond base. Thus, we refute an attractive natural attempt to define the jump class low2.

Diamond was discovered to be carbon in 1796, and it took more than 150 years from that time until a method of diamond synthesis was invented. The secret was pursued by many scientists but not unlocked until the 1950s, when diamond was synthesized almost simultaneously by Swedish and American researchers. Pressures of over 55,000 atmospheres and 1400C, plus molten iron to facilitate the change f...
