Grain size dependence of tensile properties in nanocrystalline diamond
摘要： Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) is a promising material due to its extraordinary mechanical properties, however, the research on the dependence of mechanical properties on the grain size (d) of NCD is still limited. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of 3D NCD with various d is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It was found that the mechanical properties of NCD are sensitive to d. The Young's modulus (E) increases with the increase of d due to the increasing fraction of grain interiors (GIs), while the failure strain (εf) decreases with the increase of d due to the decreasing fraction of grain boundaries (GBs). It was also found that the failure strength (σf) decreases with the increase of d, which could be attributed to that for larger d the stress concentration in the GBs is severer, which may make cracks initiate more easily. Similar to εf and σf, the deformation work density was found to increase with the decrease of d, indicating the enhancement of toughness of NCD when d is small. For the samples of different d, the nucleation and propagation of both transgranular and intergranular cracks are the main failure mechanisms, which is consistent with experimental observations.

Microstructures Manufactured in Diamond by Use of Laser Micromachining
摘要： Different microstructures were created on the surface of a polycrystalline diamond plate (obtained by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition—MW PECVD process) by use of a nanosecond pulsed DPSS (diode pumped solid state) laser with a 355 nm wavelength and a galvanometer scanning system. Different average powers (5 to 11 W), scanning speeds (50 to 400 mm/s) and scan line spacings (“hatch spacing”) (5 to 20 μm) were applied. The microstructures were then examined using scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy and Raman spectroscopy techniques. Microstructures exhibiting excellent geometry were obtained. The precise geometries of the microstructures, exhibiting good perpendicularity, deep channels and smooth surfaces show that the laser microprocessing can be applied in manufacturing diamond microfluidic devices. Raman spectra show small differences depending on the process parameters used. In some cases, the diamond band (at 1332 cm?1) after laser modification of material is only slightly wider and shifted, but with no additional peaks, indicating that the diamond is almost not changed after laser interaction. Some parameters did show that the modification of material had occurred and additional peaks in Raman spectra (typical for low-quality chemical vapor deposition CVD diamond) appeared, indicating the growing disorder of material or manufacturing of the new carbon phase.

All-carbon THz components based on laser-treated diamond
摘要： We report on fs laser structuring and graphitization of diamond and experimental characterization of its THz response. A full characterization of graphitized, conductive layer generated by laser irradiation is carried out by performing scanning-electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and electrical measurements. The transmittance of the laser textured diamond samples, both with the graphitic overlayer and after selective oxidizing etching, is analyzed in the (0.25 ÷ 6.0) THz spectral range. A significant selective absorption of the graphitized overlayer towards polarized THz radiation is demonstrated, which is associated to the formation of graphitic laser induced periodic surface structures. This anisotropy allows conceiving compact passive metasurfaces based on conductive/dielectric patterns on the diamond plate surface for the development of robust, lightweight and broadband THz optical components.

Efficient generation of nitrogen vacancy centers by laser writing close to the diamond surface with a layer of silicon nanoballs
摘要： We proposed a method to effectively fabricate negatively charged nitrogen vacancy (NV?) centers close to the diamond surface by applying femtosecond laser writing technique. With a thick layer of silicon (Si) nanoballs coated, diamond surface was irradiated by high-fluence femtosecond laser pulses. A large number of NV? centers were created around the laser ablation crater area without thermal annealing. The distribution of the NV? centers was expanded to about 50 μm away from the crater center. To demonstrate the function of Si nanoballs, we performed the exactly same laser illumination process on the bare region of the sample surface. In this case, only a few NV? centers were generated around ablation crater. At distance of 32 μm away from crater centers, the NV? density for the case with nanoballs was up to 15.5 times higher compared to the case without nanoballs. Furthermore, we also investigated the influence of laser fluence and pulse number on the NV? density for the case with Si-nanoball layer. Finally, the formation mechanism of NV? centers and the role of Si nanoballs were explained via Coulomb explosion model. The method is demonstrated to be a promising approach to efficiently and rapidly fabricate NV? centers close to the surface of the diamond, which are significant in quantum sensing. Furthermore, the results provide deep insights into complex light-matter interactions.

Study on process and manufacturability of metal-bonded diamond grinding wheel fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM)
摘要： Selective laser melting (SLM) technology is used to fabricate metal-bonded grinding wheel based on mixed powders consisted of metal powders and diamond abrasives. Taguchi method is adopted to obtain the optimal SLM process parameters for grinding wheel considering laser power, scanning speed and layer thickness. Specimens are fabricated with different SLM process parameters for compression and three-point bending tests. Materials characterization and manufacturing limit test are performed on the specimens fabricated by the optimal SLM process. Results indicate that laser power of 250W, scanning speed of 2.5m/s and layer thickness of 20μm are determined as the optimal SLM process in terms of comprehensive mechanical property and formed surface quality. Moreover, diamond abrasives are firmly embedded into aluminium binder with good bonding condition for SLM-fabricated composite. Furthermore, manufacturability of SLM-fabricated composite is evaluated by manufacturing limits of several common structures. In summary, work in this study fully proves the feasibility of SLM-fabricated metal-bonded grinding wheel and provides a solid basis for the further investigation on the novel grinding wheel with customized porous structures.

Effects of external magnetic field on the micro-structure of diamond-like carbon film prepared by pulsed laser deposition
摘要： The DLC ?lm was deposited by pulsed laser deposition in an external magnetic ?eld, and its optical property, surface morphology and atomic bonds were researched. The simulated ?ight tracks of the carbon ions in the magnetic ?eld showed that a number of the carbon ions were constrained by the Lorentz force, ?ing onto the substrate and forming the DLC ?lm. The contrast between the micro-structures of the DLC ?lms deposited in or out the magnetic ?eld showed that the external magnetic ?eld changed the expansion of the laser-produced plume and con?ned the surface diffusion of the charged particles on the substrate, improving the content of the sp3 bonds in the DLC ?lm.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Grain Growth in CdTe Films During CdCl <sub/>2</sub> Treatment: TeCl <sub/>4</sub> Theory
摘要： A diamond metal–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) with a Pt Schottky gate was fabricated. The MESFET exhibited clear saturation and pinchoff characteristics. The drain current of the MESFET operated at 300 °C was 20 times higher than that at room temperature due to the activation of acceptors. The breakdown voltage was highly dependent on the gate–drain length and reached 1.5 kV at a gate–drain length of 30 μm, which is the highest reported for a diamond FET.

Development of additive-assisted Ag-MACE for multicrystalline black Si solar cells
摘要： The uniform distribution of silver nanoparticles on the surfaces of diamond-wire sawn multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) is critical for the texturing of mc-Si by the Ag metal-assisted chemical etching method (Ag-MACE). In this study, an additive containing alkylphenol polyoxyethylene is developed to improve the Ag-MACE process. It enables an even deposition of the silver nanoparticles over the surface of the silicon wafer, so that the entire wafer surface can be uniformly textured with nanostructures. The experimental results show that the additive improves the appearance and performance of solar cells, including their reflectivity, efficiency, internal quantum efficiency and external quantum efficiency. Mass-produced mc-Si solar cells textured using Ag-MACE with this additive have achieved a maximum efficiency of 19.51%, compared with an efficiency of 19.16% for cells fabricated without the additive.

Temperature measurement in double-sided laser-heated diamond anvil cell and reaction of carbon
摘要： In this work, a double-sided laser-heated diamond anvil cell facility for studies at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature that has been developed is described in detail. Phase transitions occurring at extreme conditions can be mapped by accurate measurements of pressure and temperature. Micrometer-sized diamond crystals having regular facets have been synthesized at a pressure of 18 GPa and temperature 1785 K, which is con?rmed by visual inspection, micro-Raman and ?eld emission scanning electron micrograph measurements. A low-temperature gradient is observed across the sample surface during the formation of micrometer-sized diamond crystals. Our observation restricts the use of steel gasket as it can react with carbon (C) transported from the diamond anvil. The reaction of C with one of the potential thermal insulating medium Al2O3 is observed in the X-ray diffraction measurements.

Development of All-Diamond Scanning Probes Based on Faraday Cage Angled Etching Techniques
摘要： We are proposing a novel fabrication method for single crystal diamond scanning probes for atomic force microscopy (AFM), exploiting Faraday cage angled etching (FCAE). Common, oxygen-based, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) dry etching processes for diamond are limited with respect to the achievable geometries. The fabrication of freestanding micro- and nanostructures is therefore challenging. This is a major disadvantage for several application fields e.g., for realizing scanning magnetometry probes based on nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres and capable of measuring magnetic fields at the nanoscale. Combining a planar design with FCAE and state-of-the-art electron beam lithography (EBL) yields a reduction of process complexity and cost compared to the established fabrication technology of micro-opto-mechanical diamond devices. Here, we report on the direct comparison of both approaches and present first proof-of-concept planar-FCAE-prototypes for scanning probe applications.
