Diamond hosts a wide variety of colour centres that have demonstrated outstanding optical
and spin properties. Among them, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre is by far the most …

Central to future electronic device developments in diamond is the provision of smooth, low
defect density substrate materials. This review examines plasma treatments of diamond to …

Diamond is a material with outstanding properties making it particularly suited for high
added-value applications such as optical windows, power electronics, radiation detection …

The burgeoning multi-field applications of diamond concurrently bring up a foremost
consideration associated with nitrogen. Ubiquitous nitrogen in both natural and artificial …

A low-dislocation diamond is obtained by homoepitaxial chemical vapor deposition on a
standard moderate-quality substrate hollowed out by a large square hole. Dislocations are …

High purity chemically vapor deposited (CVD) diamond single crystals are now widely
available. However, the reduction of dislocations in this material still remains an important …

H2/O2 plasma treatments offer advantages over other etching processes of diamond as a
technique to prepare the substrate's surface prior to homoepitaxial CVD diamond growth …

In this work, we explore the ability of plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD)
operating under high power densities to produce thin high-quality diamond layers with a …

The use of diamond as a semiconductor material in power electronics applications is held
back by the presence of vertical threading dislocations that are believed to deteriorate …

We use the rotating polarizer birefringence technique to investigate the properties of
dislocations in single crystalline diamond produced by a high pressure high temperature …
