人工合成金刚石研究进展

1796年英国科学家S.Tennant的精确燃烧实验,首次揭示金刚石是由纯碳构成的宝石,从此人类开始了漫长的人工合成金刚石的探索.金刚石通常只能在极端条件下形成,因此,合成技术的突破是人类合成水平提高的一个重要标志,文章对这一领域一些重要工作做了简单回顾,也讨论了作者在合成金刚石方面的工作.我们在440℃的低温条件下,用碱金属（Li,Na,K）还原超临界CO2,得到透明、大尺寸的金刚石晶体,首次实现了金刚石燃烧实验的逆过程,即把低能、直线型CO2分子变成了碳-碳四面体连接的金刚石,开辟了人工合成金刚石的新途径.也讨论了它与天然金刚石起源之间的可能联系.     

Stress-induced phase transitions in diamond

A phase transformation in diamond into an intermediate carbon phase (ICP) was revealed in regions of maximal shear stress of diamond anvils. The transition was stimulated by additional stresses supplied to the compressed anvils with torque by a rotation of the anvil around the anvil's axis; maximal shear stress approached 55 GPa during the rotation. Creation of an ICP is considered as a mechanism of the stress-induced stability loss of the diamond structure. The characteristic Raman bands of ICP near 250, 500, 650–850 and 1050–1390 cm^?1 were observed in the failure regions.

Microwave plasma deposition of diamond like carbon coatings

The promising applications of the microwave plasmas have been appearing in the fields of chemical processes and semiconductor manufacturing. Applications include surface deposition of all types including diamond/diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings, etching of semiconductors, promotion of organic reactions, etching of polymers to improve bonding of the other materials etc. With a 2.45 GHz. 700 W, microwave induced plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system set up in our laboratory we have deposited diamond like carbon coatings. The microwave plasma generation was effected using a wave guide single mode applicator. We have deposited DLC coatings on the substrates like stainless steel, Cu-Be, Cu and Si. The deposited coatings have been characterized by FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and ellipsometric techniques. The results show that we have achieved depositing ∼95% sp³ bonded carbon in the films. The films are unform with golden yellow color. The films are found to be excellent insulators. The ellipsometric measurements of optical constant on silicon substrates indicate that the films are transparent above 900 nm.

Influence of crystalline diamond nanoparticles on diamond-like carbon friction behavior

Crystalline diamond (CD) particles have been incorporated in diamond-like carbon (DLC) film structure in order to improve DLC electrochemical corrosion resistance. This paper shows the investigation of CD-DLC friction behavior according to the CD average sizes and concentration. The films were growth over 304 stainless steel using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The response surface methodology was used to develop a mathematical modeling of friction for these films, using the experimental results, in order to identify parameters that control friction and construct tribological maps according to the CD average sizes. The presence of bigger CD particles (250 and 500 nm) increased the film roughness. Films with CD particles of 4 nm presented the most homogeneous friction map, with minor variation in friction coefficient with the increase/decrease of load and sliding speed even when the CD concentration increase. This result suggests that in CD-DLC films containing CD particles of 4 nm average size, the nanoparticles are better incorporated in DLC structure due to its average size (4 nm) that is near than DLC grain size and could occupy the nanospaces between DLC grains.

Efficient Raman frequency conversion of high‐power fiber lasers in diamond

We report high‐power frequency conversion of a Yb‐doped fiber laser using a double‐pass pumped external‐cavity diamond Raman oscillator. Pumping with circular polarization is shown to be efficient while facilitating high‐power optical isolation between the pump and Raman laser. We achieved continuous‐wave average power of 154 W with a conversion efficiency of 50.5% limited by backward‐amplified light in the fiber laser. In order to prove further scalability, we achieved a maximum steady‐state Raman‐shifted output of 381 W with 61% conversion efficiency and excellent beam quality using 10 ms pump pulses, approximately a thousand times longer than the transient thermal time‐constant. No power saturation or degradation in beam quality is observed. The results challenge the present understanding of heat deposition in Raman crystals and foreshadow prospects for reduced thermal effects in diamond than originally anticipated. We also report the first experimental evidence for stimulated Brillouin scattering in diamond.
