Nucleation of diamond by pure carbon ion bombardment - a transmission electron microscopy study

A cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) study of a film deposited by a 1 keV mass-selected carbon ion beam onto silicon held at 800 degrees C is presented. Initially, a graphitic film with its basal planes perpendicular to the substrate is evolving. The precipitation of nanodiamond crystallites in upper layers is confirmed by HRTEM, selected area electron diffraction, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The nucleation of diamond on graphitic edges as predicted by Lambrecht [W. R. L. Lambrecht, C. H. Lee, B. Segall, J. C. Angus, Z. Li, and M. Sunkara, Nature, 364 607 (1993)] is experimentally confirmed. The results are discussed in terms of our recent subplantation-based diamond nucleation model. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.

Diamond nucleation by energetic pure carbon bombardment

Deposition of 1000 eV pure carbon ions onto Si(001) held at 800 degrees C led to direct nucleation of diamond crystallites, as proven by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. Molecular dynamic simulations show that diamond nucleation in the absence of hydrogen can occur by precipitation of diamond clusters in a dense amorphous carbon matrix generated by subplantation. Once the diamond clusters are formed, they can grow by thermal annealing consuming carbon atoms from the amorphous matrix. The results are applicable to other materials as well.
