In this work, the diamond films that were heavily doped (e.g. sample 2) had a hole concentration
around 1 x 1017 cm-3 and a resistivity of 0.15 ?-cm. This came as a result of a diamond growth gas
mixture of 100:1:4 (H2:CH4:TMB). Page 61. Structural and optical properties of diamond and nano-
diamond films grown by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. The emission wavelengths of
composites decreased with excitation, at the same time, emission peaks shifted to high energy region
and the peak width at half-height decreased relatively. This technique is very similar to the one used
in AFM’s. Page 34. Moreover, grain size produced is highly variable, from nanometer- to several-
hundred-micrometer grains, according to the different techniques, and even within the same
techniques but using different P, T and t conditions. The photoluminescence (PL) studies including
emission and excitation measurements were carried out on a fluorescence spectrophotometer (Model:
Quantum Master, enhanced NIR, from Photon Technologies International) using a xenon arc lamp of
60 W as a pump source. The work presented here was carried out during 1 year training programme
on different instruments at the CSIR-CGCRI by the author. Pressure was calibrated repeatedly by
the conversion process of graphite to diamond. For the sample used in electrostatic actuation, the gap
between the structure and the bottom electrode was 0.2 ?m, while for the piezoelectrically actuated
the gap spacing was 2 ?m. Figure 4.4 shows the Raman spectra of both samples. Kulisch W, Popov

substantially better, while cemented carbides and ceramics are significantly harder at elevated
temperatures. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM-Tecnai G2 30ST, FEI Company, USA) was
used to evaluate the defects present inside the diamond lattice. Gas molecules are dosed into the
sample chamber after cooling the solid down to a constant temperature in order to partially
accumulate the gas molecules onto the solid surface which can be applied for the characterisation of
surfaces as well as for the pore characterisation. Structure and properties of high-temperature
annealed CVD diamond. The device consists of a 2 ?m-thick nanocrystalline diamond disk
suspended by a stem located at its center and enclosed by polycrystalline silicon electrodes spaced
less than 1,000A from the disk perimeter. Novel diamond films synthesis strategy: Methanol and
argon atmosphere by microwave plasma CVD method without hydrogen. A minimum in Q was
observed for two of the three samples at an activation energy around 1.9 eV. Page 114. The as-
grown surfaces of the PCD coatings are very rough in nature which is labelled in Figure 1b. Bulletin

the DW suspension, was loaded in a conventional spinner, and was spun for 30 seconds at 1000 rpm.
Monocrystalline and polycrystalline diamonds can be made with this technique based on the
substrate preparation. The weight loss can be attributed to the loss of carbon from diamond as
gaseous by product of oxidation reaction. These data ( Figure 10 ) indicated that nanohardness of
Black PCD NS, White PCD polished and Black PCD polished would be higher than that of White
PCD NS samples. The difference in Q is likely not related to the method of actuation or the
properties of the polycrystalline diamond film, but rather due to the different measurement pressures
used in the two methods, 100 and 0.001 mtorr for electrostatic and piezoelectric actuations,
respectively. The impurity states do not merge with the valence band, and free carrier concentration
is reduced.

The characteristics of this nucleation layer (thickness, grain sizes, nucleation density, etc.) can be
controlled by the growth process. These spikes are likely to be polycrystalline diamond. It was
shown that the presence of lonsdaleite is highly dependent on the ordered structure, i.e., crystallinity
of the precursors, i.e., the most ordered the structure, the more lonsdaleite was present. Edited by

nanoindentation data, it is being revealed that the nucleation side of black quality diamond is harder
which may be because of the presence of harder diamond like carbon phases than their white variety.

characterizes the “cut” of diamonds that will reveal all the brightness and scintillation. 3.2.2. The
Type Classification This classification refers to the optical properties of diamonds and therefore to
their impurities as substitutions for their lattice. Processes or mechanisms, which increase the energy
dissipated in the resonator are sources of Q degradation. Section 2.3 explains in more detail the
energy dissipation mechanisms for a micromechanical resonator. Thus both characteristic Raman
bonds and XRD results have confirmed that the sintered sample is a highly crystalline composite of
diamond and B 4 C. Effect of high temperature annealing on optical and thermal properties of CVD

the sample in a 5:1 BHF solution (5 40% NH4F:1 49% HF). In general, all the P-h plots were
smooth in nature. However, these structures tend to have a low resonance frequency (KHz range),
since their dimensions and consequently their mass are much larger than other strucutres. Crystalline
diamond is insulator with large band gap (more than 5 eV). Also, a high Q value is desirable for
oscillators and filter applications, where the frequency of operation needs to be carefully controlled.

corresponding nucleation sides are showing opposite trend—black PCD NS being harder than White
PCD NS. These mechanisms mostly act simultaneously and are diffuse and related to defects and
restacking. The shift in resonant frequency needed for detection or sensing of a mass change is
determined more precisely if the resonator has a high Q. The justification of this Si3N4 layer is
explained in more detail later on, when the releasing of the structure is discussed. These are the first

centres, but not definitively. With such low conditions, industrial transfer was possible with low-cost
large-volume apparatuses such as Toroid press and piston cylinder. From the TEM images, the
polycrystalline diamond film can be studied in more detail including the nucleation layer (seeding
layer) that is necessary for polycrystalline diamond growth. Finally, there is also the degradation of
the fuel cladding, one of the protective barriers that may lead to its failure and subsequent leakage
of highly radioactive fission products from nuclear fuel into the primary circuit. The following figure
(figure 1.1) shows an overview of this thesis. Figure 1.1: Thesis Overview Polycrystalline Diamond
RFMEMS Resonator Technology and Characterization II. Due to these unique characteristics, to date
BDD electrodes are employed in a vast array of electrochemical applications. The Q is defined as the
ratio between the energy stored in the system to the energy lost per cycle. Polycrystalline BDD films
possess physical properties similar to those of bulk diamond, which includes outstanding hardness,
high hole mobility, high thermal conductivity and excellent resistance to radiation damage. Since the
resonant frequency of a structure is inversely proportional to the resonator mass, most comb-drive
structures show a lower frequency than bridges or other structures that can be fabricated in much
smaller sizes. It describes the frequency selectivity of the device (i.e. the device response to a
specific frequency). Roughness of the PCD surfaces were evaluated by a contact profilometer
(Talysurf PGI 2000S, Taylor Hobson). Growth rate enhancement and morphology engineering of
diamond films by adding CO 2 or N 2 in hydrogen rich gas chemistry. The experimentally measured

of Black PCD NS, White PCD polished and Black PCD polished were much steeper than those of
the White PCD NS sample. Advanced Structured Materials. 2010; 5:195-217 14. For this analysis,
the values for ts, and tf were obtained directly from the TEM images. Here, thermo-gravimetric
analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) techniques have been used for the first
time ever to pinpoint the augmentation of oxidation. Silicon Substrate SiO2 Figure 3.7 Starting
substrate for the fabrication of polycrystalline diamond resonators Page 71. Also, there is little
evidence of degradation of BDD electrochemical activity with time. There are fewer processing
steps and restrictions on the design. When the particle size was calculated from DLS technique using
Malvern make Zetasizer, it was found that the original suspension has become agglomerated
considerably. Moreover the top surface of diamond PCDs are very rough and sometimes appear
porous. Anomalous enhancement of nanodiamond luminescence upon heating. Moreover, at
comparable loads the depth of penetration data recorded for the Black PCD NS, White PCD
polished and Black PCD polished samples was much smaller than those of the White PCD NS
sample. The reflected laser beam from the vibrating structure is sent to a photodetector.
The roughness of each surfaces are labelled in each Figure 9. Figure 9. Four different PCD surfaces
probed with nanoindenter. C dashed line represents a hypothetical limit between lonsdaleite and
diamond stability field. Intrinsic stress evolution during different growth stages of diamond film. At
100 mtorr, the Q is limited by the exchange of energy between the mechanical structure and gas
molecules. This has been done, with a factor added to account for electrostatic fringing at the edges
of the beam. When the cantilever frequency f matches the characteristic frequency F0, ?(f) becomes
unity and QTED gets to its lowest value. Multilayer strategy and mechanical grinding for smoothing
CVD diamond coated defective substrate. Additionally, the electrical characteristics can be modified
through surface termination with hydrogen, which gives rise to p-type surface conductivity. All these
techniques have their own advantages and potential applications. Mechanical polishing was done
using Leco, Germany polisher and subsequently CP4 model, Bruker, USA machine was used for
chemo-mechanical polishing of the PCD samples. Tallaire A, Collins AT, Charles D, Achard J,
Sussmann R, Gicquel A, et al. Microstructural observations by transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) and chemical bonding analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggest that the
existence of B 4 C interfaces at diamond grain boundaries and the bonding strength play key roles in

coating can prolong the service life of Zr nuclear fuel claddings in nuclear reactors. Attempt has been
made to quantify the porosity that might be present in the freestanding coating, which reduces the
theoretical density values of CVD grown diamond. These off-chip resonator components can
contribute to the substantial percentage (often up to 80%) of portable transceiver area taken up by
board-level passive components. Despite the notable originality of these experiments, only diamond
powders were produced with highly variable yields and grain sizes (see below). This study revealed
the almost systematic presence of lonsdaleite in the final product. The fourth chapter describes the
measurement techniques used and the equipment set up. Resulting sintered compacts had mechanical
and optical properties at least equivalent to that of natural single crystal and higher than that of
binder-containing sintered compacts, offering a huge potential market. The basic idea of the
piezoelectric actuation method is to drive the resonator into vibration by using a piezoelectric
transducer, which is in contact with the sample that contains the resonator structure. Such
freestanding diamond wafers were cut in 6 mm diameter smaller discs by laser cutter (Hallmark Plus
