Diamond is a metastable allotrope of carbon. Monocrystalline diamond with particle size
less than 100 nm (designated as nanodiamond) has been widely studied during the past …

Nanodiamonds (NDs) are members of the diverse structural family of nanocarbons that
includes many varieties based on synthesis conditions, post-synthesis processes, and …

The presence of large amounts of nondiamond carbon in detonation-synthesized
nanodiamond (ND) severely limits applications of this exciting nanomaterial. We report on a …

An overview of the various carbon structures with characteristic sizes in the nanoscale
region is presented, with special attention devoted to the structures and properties of …

Molecular absorption and emission bands dominate the visible, infrared, and submillimeter
spectra of most objects with associated gas. These observations reveal a surprisingly rich …

A remarkable observation that detonation of oxygen-deficient explosives in an inert medium
produces ultra-fine diamond particles having diameters of 4–5 nm was made four decades …

Detonation nanodiamonds (NDs) are emerging as delivery vehicles for small chemical
drugs and macromolecular biotechnology products due to their primary particle size of 4 to 5 …

Nanoscale diamond particles have become an interesting material. Due to their inertness,
small size and surface structure, they are well‐suited for biological applications, such as …

Transmission electron microscopy and neutron or X-ray diffraction are powerful techniques
available today for characterization of the structure of various carbon materials at nano and …

A major problem challenging specialists in present-day materials sciences is the
