Impurities of light elements in CVD diamond

Crystal Growth and Characterization of Diamond from Carbonyl Iron Catalyst under High Pressure and High Temperature Conditions

“…Therefore, our results can indicate that the specific feature of the studied systems for diamond crystallization is the high temperature. A similar tendency was previously found in the sulfurÀcarbon system and Fe 3 NÀcarbon system. 7,23 The other typical feature is the special growth habits of morphology depending on the reaction temperatures.…”

Electronic transitions of single silicon vacancy centers in the near-infrared spectral region

“…12 SiV centers can be efficiently produced in situ by incorporation of Si impurities during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond. 13,14 Furthermore, the production of colloidal solutions of fluorescent nanodiamonds containing SiV centers from polycrystalline CVD diamond films has been demonstrated. 9 Thus, SiV centers are also promising candidates for fluorescence labels especially due to feasible excitation with red laser light as well as their narrow emission in the red/near-infrared spectral region.…”

Incorporation of nitrogen in chemical vapor deposition diamond

“…The quantitative detection of nitrogen down to the ppm regime is known to be difficult because standard techniques, e.g., such as secondary ion mass spectroscopy ͑SIMS͒ have insufficient sensitivity for nitrogen and elastic recoil detection with heavy ions ͑HI-ERD͒ has yet to prove its applicability in the ppm region. 5 So far, reliable quantitative data of nitrogen incorporations in CVD diamond, especially data of the incorporation in particular growth sectors, are not available. For nitrogen detection, we employed nuclear reaction analysis ͑NRA͒.…”
