It has been found that the abrasion of diamond-on-diamond depends on the crystal orientation. For a {100} face, the friction coefficient for sliding along <011> is much higher than that along <001>. For a {111} face, the abrasion along <11> is different from that in the reverse direction <>. To interpret these effects, a microcleavage mechanism was proposed in which the {100} and {111} surfaces were assumed to be composed of square-based pyramids and trigonal protrusions, respectively. Reflection electron microscopy (REM) has been applied to image the microstructures of these diamond surfaces.{111} surfaces of synthetic diamond:The synthetic diamonds used in this study were obtained from the De Beers Company. They are in the as-grown condition with grain sizes of 0.5-1 mm without chemical treatment or mechanical polishing. By selecting a strong reflected beam in the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) pattern, the dark-field REM image of the surface is formed (Fig. 1).

Attractive interaction between two clean diamond(001) slabs turns repulsive upon the hydrogenation of surfaces. Even under high loading forces, this repulsive interaction prevents the sliding surfaces from being closer to each other. As a result, calculated lateral force variation generated during sliding has small magnitude under high constant loading forces. Superlow friction observed earlier between diamond like carbon coated surfaces can be understood by the steady repulsive interaction between sliding surfaces, as well as strong and stiff carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds which do not favor energy dissipation. In ambient conditions, the steady repulsive interaction is, however, destroyed by oxygenation of hydrogenated surface.

AbstractNanocrystalline diamond films (NCD) are strong candidates for applications in a wide variety of fields. An important concern in all these applications is to understand the properties of variously prepared NCD surfaces. This contribution is focussed on the surface science study of hydrogen and oxygen containing NCD films using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as well as high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). Previous studies have demonstrated that hydrogen, oxygen, and gases from the ambient environment as well as water can result in drastic surface changes affecting conductivity, wettability, tribological properties, etc. In this contribution we analyzed differently prepared NCD surfaces as a function of parameters such as the annealing temperature under ultrahigh vacuum conditions (UHV). We are able to identify the thermal stability of a number of species at the interface, which are related to different characteristics of C-H, C-OH, C=O, and C=C bonds. Furthermore, a formation of graphitic-like species appears at higher annealing temperatures. An atomic hydrogen treatment was also applied to the NCD surface to obtain further information about the surface composition.
