Yang N. (Ed.) Novel Aspects of Diamond: From Growth to Applications

2nd Edition. — Springer, 2019. — 524 p. — (Topics in Applied Physics 121). — ISBN: 978-3-030-12468-7.This book is in honor of the contribution of Professor Xin Jiang (Institute of Materials Engineering, University of Siegen, Germany) to diamond. The objective of this book is to familiarize readers with the scientific and engineering aspects of CVD diamond films and to provide experienced researchers, scientists, and engineers in academia and industry with the latest developments and achievements in this rapidly growing field. This 2nd edition consists of 14 chapters, providing an updated, systematic review of diamond research, ranging from its growth, and properties up to applications. The growth of single-crystalline and doped diamond films is included. The physical, chemical, and engineering properties of these films and diamond nanoparticles are discussed from theoretical and experimental aspects. The applications of various diamond films and nanoparticles in the fields of chemistry, biology, medicine, physics, and engineering are presented.Homoepitaxial Diamond Growth by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition
