Abstract
In this study, nanodiamonds chemically modified with C12 and C18 hydrocarbon chains were studied for their use in Langmuir-Blodgett deposition. The hydrophobic nanodiamonds were spread from dichloromethane (best solvent in this study) and a compression of 30 mN/m was used to transfer the nanoparticles onto the silicon substrate. Heating this substrate to 400 °C indicates that the particles do not desorb or form aggregates. Finally, the seeded substrate was used for diamond growth via hot filament chemical deposition (HFCVD), resulting in growth of a ca. 2.8 ± 0.1 μm thick diamond film without pinholes, illustrating the feasibility of this approach.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
