Diamond composite with embedded YAG:Ce nanoparticles as a source of fast X-ray luminescence in the visible and near-IR range

Microporous poly- and monocrystalline diamond films produced from chemical vapor deposited diamond–germanium composites

“…44 However, the HPHT diamonds are limited in size and cannot be prepared in the form of thin lms, so another technique for the synthesis of various diamond composites can be used insteadchemical vapor deposition (CVD). [45][46][47] CVD growth of diamond usually results in continuous polycrystalline or single-crystal lms with no gaps or pores. However, CVD can also be used for direct deposition of diamond on porous templates, such as Cu meshes, 26 Cu or Ni foams, 48,49 porous Ti substrates, 50 SiO 2 bers on top of planar Bdoped diamond lms, 51 porous polypyrrole scaffolds, 52 "forests" of vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes, 53 buckypapers composed of single-wall carbon nanotubes, 54 porous Si, 55 irregularly arranged SiO 2 microspheres, 17 etc.…”

X‐Rays in Diamond Photonics: A New Way to Control Charge States of Color Centers

“…[8] As a low-Z material, pristine diamond is transparent to X-rays and is considered to be suitable material for X-ray lithography [24] and as a robust transparent matrix for X-ray luminescent composites. [25,26] The first works on such interaction of diamond with X-rays described the luminescence in the visible range after X-ray irradiation and were published by Raman and Ramachandran. [27,28] Specifically, they described the emission of single-crystal diamonds after UV and X-ray radiation and presented the theoretical explanation of this crucial effect; they pointed those diamonds emitted blue light after exposure.…”

Cerium-doped gadolinium-scandium-aluminum garnet powders: synthesis and use in X-ray luminescent diamond composites

“…It is based on the introduction of luminescent rare-earth microand nanoparticles into a transparent diamond matrix. Such diamond composites with Eu(III) tri-(2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid [1], EuF3 [2], HoF3 [3], CeF3 [4], β-NaGdF4:Eu [5], YSAG:Ce and YAG:Ce [6,7] already have shown intense electro-, photo-and X-ray luminescence (XRL).…”
