Abstract:The lattice damage of a diamond crystal, caused by the analysis beam of helium ions with 2.0 MeV, 3 nA at room temperature, was characterized by nondestructive optical absorption topographic imaging that used position-sensitive scanning spectroscopy in the transmission mode. The result showed that the atomic structure and electronic states in diamond have been significantly changed by the ion beam, even at very low dose or dose rate. The measurement has been applied to the artificial diamond crystal (type Ib) … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
