Study of localized phonon in ultrananocrystalline diamond films investigated by Raman spectroscopy
The study employed multiwavelength excitation (UV-ultraviolet, visible and near infrared) of Raman spectroscopy to probe resonant and non-resonant scattering mechanisms in ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films, exploring wavelength-dependent phonon dispersion, defect-activated modes, and interfacial vibrations of grain boundaries. UV excitation enhanced the diamond D* peak due to resonant coupling with zone-center optical phonons, while visible and near infrared spectra highlighted amorphous carbon (a-C)/sp2-rich grain boundary contributions (D, G, and trans-polyacetylene (t-PA) modes). Temperature-dependent studies (cryogenic to room temperature) demonstrated anomalous phonon behavior: the D and G bands redshift due to anharmonicity, while the mode of t-PA blueshifts from reduced Peierls distortion. Laser power-dependent measurements revealed thermal strain effects, with hardening of phonon mode inducing initial blueshifts followed by thermal redshifting at higher powers. Polarization-resolved spectroscopy identifies symmetry breaking at grain boundaries, evidenced by anisotropic scattering of the mode. The heat capacity of UNCD, calculated via Einstein and Debye models, deviates from bulk diamond due to low-energy vibrational and defect modes.
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.
