Nanocrystalline hexagonal diamond formed from glassy carbon
Carbon exhibits a large number of allotropes and its phase behaviour is still subject to significant uncertainty and intensive research. The hexagonal form of diamond, also known as lonsdaleite, was discovered in the Canyon Diablo meteorite where its formation was attributed to the extreme conditions experienced during the impact. However, it has recently been claimed that lonsdaleite does not ...
متن کاملStacking-fault based microscopic model for platelets in diamond.
We propose a new model for {001} platelets in diamond based on the formation of a metastable stacking-fault. The core of the defect is a double layer of threefold coordinated sp2 carbon atoms embedded in the sp3 diamond matrix. The properties of the model were determined using ab initio calculations. All significant experimental signatures attributed to the platelets are fully accounted for. Th...
متن کاملTransformation of shock-compressed graphite to hexagonal diamond in nanoseconds
The graphite-to-diamond transformation under shock compression has been of broad scientific interest since 1961. The formation of hexagonal diamond (HD) is of particular interest because it is expected to be harder than cubic diamond and due to its use in terrestrial sciences as a marker at meteorite impact sites. However, the formation of diamond having a fully hexagonal structure continues to...
متن کاملDiamond-hexagonal semiconductor nanocones with controllable apex angle.
We report on the synthesis of nanostructured and crystalline tapered Si and Ge polyhedra via metal-catalyzed chemical vapor deposition. These Si and Ge nanocones (SiNCs, GeNCs) possess tips with near-atomic sharpness, micron-scaled bases, hexagonal cross-sections, and controllable apex angles. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction and Raman scatter...
متن کاملEpitaxial diamond-hexagonal silicon nano-ribbon growth on (001) silicon
Silicon crystallizes in the diamond-cubic phase and shows only a weak emission at 1.1 eV. Diamond-hexagonal silicon however has an indirect bandgap at 1.5 eV and has therefore potential for application in opto-electronic devices. Here we discuss a method based on advanced silicon device processing to form diamond-hexagonal silicon nano-ribbons. With an appropriate temperature anneal applied to ...
