“…There is rapidly growing industrial production of submicron diamond powders (Krueger, 2008), so there is no doubt that particles with appropriate morphology can be produced. However, the industrial production volumes and academic literature on production technologies are far smaller than for alumina.…”

Solar geoengineering using solid aerosol in the stratosphere

Abstract. Solid aerosol particles have long been proposed as an alternative to sulfate aerosols for solar geoengineering. Any solid aerosol introduced into the stratosphere would be subject to coagulation with itself, producing fractal aggregates, and with the natural sulfate aerosol, producing liquidcoated solids. Solid aerosols that are coated with sulfate and/or have formed aggregates may have very different scattering properties and chemical behavior than uncoated nonaggregated monomers do. We use a two-dimensional (2-D) chemistry-transport-aerosol model to capture the dynamics of interacting solid and liquid aerosols in the stratosphere. As an example, we apply the model to the possible use of alumina and diamond particles for solar geoengineering. For 240 nm radius alumina particles, for example, an injection rate of 4 Tg yr −1 produces a global-average shortwave radiative forcing of −1.2 W m −2 and minimal self-coagulation of alumina although almost all alumina outside the tropics is coated with sulfate. For the same radiative forcing, these solid aerosols can produce less ozone loss, less stratospheric heating, and less forward scattering than sulfate aerosols do. Our results suggest that appropriately sized alumina, diamond or similar high-index particles may have less severe technology-specific risks than sulfate aerosols do. These results, particularly the ozone response, are subject to large uncertainties due to the limited data on the rate constants of reactions on the dry surfaces.

“…Over 500 different color centers in diamond are known [3] ; their emission wavelengths span a spectral range from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. Furthermore, the diamond host material provides beneficial qualities like chemical inertness, biocompatibility, high transparency from the ultraviolet to infrared spectral range as well as a high mechanical strength (high Young`s modulus) and exceptionally high thermal conductivity [4][5][6] . Furthermore, color centers in diamond have to be considered as potential building blocks of future quantum information processing (QIP) architectures and integrated nanophotonic devices as detailed in the following.…”

Fluorescence and Spin Properties of Defects in Single Digit Nanodiamonds

et al. 2009

This article reports stable photoluminescence and high-contrast optically detected electron spin resonance (ODESR) from single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect centers created within ultrasmall, disperse nanodiamonds of radius less than 4 nm. Unexpectedly, the efficiency for the production of NV fluorescent defects by electron irradiation is found to be independent of the size of the nanocrystals. Fluorescence lifetime imaging shows lifetimes with a mean value of around 17 ns, only slightly longer than the bulk value of the defects. After proper surface cleaning, the dephasing times of the electron spin resonance in the nanocrystals approach values of some microseconds, which is typical for the type Ib diamond from which the nanoparticle is made. We conclude that despite the tiny size of these nanodiamonds the photoactive nitrogen-vacancy color centers retain their bulk properties to the benefit of numerous exciting potential applications in photonics, biomedical labeling, and imaging.
