Thermally activated conductance of three different CVD grown free-standing polycrystalline diamond sheets
The applications of diamond in temperature sensing are gaining attention, while the influence of various growth processes on thermal sensitivity remains unclear. In this study, thermistors were fabricated based on free-standing polycrystalline diamond (PD) sheets synthesized through three different techniques: hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD), microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD), and direct current arc plasma jet chemical vapor deposition (DCCVD). The results indicate that the diamond produced with a high density of grain boundaries, defects, and a (110) texture, exhibits optimal thermal sensitivity. The thermistor based on HFCVD-diamond shows an extremely high thermal constant (B25/300: 8133 K), while thermistors made from diamonds synthesized by MPCVD and DCCVD show negligible thermally activated conductivity at room temperature. Analysis of the impedance spectrum reveals grain boundaries play a crucial role in the thermal sensitization mechanism of PD sheet grown by HFCVD, whereas in samples synthesized by MPCVD and DCCVD, the grains themselves are more influential.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
