“…Boron‐doped Nanocrystalline Diamond (BNCD) MEAs appear very interesting for the applications discussed here thanks to the excellent properties of diamond, which include biocompatibility, high chemical stability and electrochemical activity, and also transparency. Fabrication of transparent diamond electrochemical devices have been reported in case of electrodes for spectroelectrochemistry and microelectrodes for biological applications . In all cases, it appears evident that electrochemical activity and transparency are in conflict with each other: higher electrochemical activity can be obtained at the expenses of transparency and vice versa.…”

This work presents a promising method for enhancing the transparency of boron‐doped nanocrystalline diamond (BNCD) microelectrodes while preserving a good level of electrical and electrochemical performances. This method is based on the combination of selective growth of diamond on a quartz carrier and the adoption of stacked delta‐doping. The overall results show similar conductivity and at the same time better transparency in comparison with bulk doped diamond, making this technology particularly suited for applications based on simultaneous fluorescence and electrochemical detection of redox active molecules released from biological samples.

“…For p-type NCD films, boron is the only element can be easily introduced into the lattice of diamond films without apparently changing the structure. Boron has small atomic radius, which is shallow acceptor impurity of diamond, so the resistivity of diamond film after boron doping has declined sharply, leading to the improvement of the conductive performance of the film [22] [23]. The suitable concentration of boron doping not only improves the conductivity of diamond film, but also improves the crystal quality and morphology by adding a small amount of boron to diamond film.…”

Due to its unique properties such as high hardness, light transmittance, thermal conductance, chemical stability and corrosion resistance, diamond has drawn tremendous attention in last two decades. These specific properties made diamond film a promising material for cutting tools, microwave windows, heat sinks for electronic devices and diamond electrodes. However, the diamond film with grain sizes at microscale usually exhibits high surface roughness and hinders its applications in the microelectro mechanical system (MEMS) and biological field because it is difficult to be polished by mechanical and chemical methods. With the development of the chemical vapor deposition, the nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) film has been fabricated and found new applications. The grain size of NCD film is in the range of 10 to 100 nm, which inherits the properties of the diamond and possesses the unique properties of the nanoscale materials, and the morphology of the NCD film is granular or needle-like structure. The microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) has been regarded as the most promising method to deposit NCD film at low temperature. Compared to the hot filament CVD, MPCVD can grow high quality NCD film avoiding of the contamination from the filament materials. The MPCVD technique has high plasma density to activate carbonaceous compound and grow NCD film in high growth rate and low substrate temperature. The unique properties of NCD film, such as the superior electrical, mechanical and biological properties facilitate their application in various fields. The biological application, especially as a biocompatible coating, mainly includes the joint replacement implants and protective coatings and the ophthalmological prosthesis.

“…Experimental studies show that the refractive index has a negligible dependence on the boron doping rate [56]. Furthermore, the reflectivity of a microcrystalline boron doped diamond with a doping rate at 1.3 × 10 20 cm −3 has been reported in the literature [62] and is used in the model.…”

Experiments and theory are employed to investigate the laser ablation of boron doped diamond and tetrahedral amorphous carbon using nanosecond pulses. For a single pulse at low values of fluence, the laser induces a swelling of the surface due to graphitisation, whilst a high level of fluence leads to recession of the surface due to vaporization.To understand and investigate the underlying phenomena during the diamond-laser interaction, a model has been developed to reliably and quickly predict the behaviour of the surface and the thickness of the heat affected zone. The model is based on conservation of heat and mass during the laser-workpiece interaction. It consists of a one-dimensional system of non-linear equations that models the material heating, evaporation, graphitisation and plasma shielding. There is excellent agreement between numerical and experimental results for the position of the interfaces up to a high laser fluence. This model is the first to investigate the ablation of diamond that is able to capture surface swelling due to the graphitisation of the diamond layer, the graphite thickness and the amount of ablated material within a single framework. Furthermore, the model provides a novel methodology to investigate the thermal stability of diamond-like carbon films. The activation energy for tetrahedral amorphous carbon is obtained using the model with an accuracy of 3.15 +1.0 −0.22 eV.
