ABSTRACTIt has been a challenge to inject dopant atoms onto diamond lattice sites by ion implantation, because of the complications of ion damage and defect clustering during annealing. We re-investigated this topic by implanting boron ions into an insulating natural diamond ( type II-A ) which was predamaged by carbon ion implantation. Both of the implantations were performed at liquid nitrogen temperature. The amount of pre-damage was adjusted to produce enough vacancies and interstitials in diamond to promote boron substitutionality during subsequent annealing. Samples were characterized by optical absorption and electrical measurements. It was found that optical absorption of the implanted samples strongly depends on the post implant annealing sequence. The activation energies obtained from electrical measurements match very closely to those due to boron atoms in natural p-type diamonds. Photoconductivity measurements showed that the fraction of remaining electrically active radiation defects in the implanted and annealed samples depends on the relative fluences of boron and carbon.

Fournier’s Gangrene is a type II necrotizing fascitis that leads to thrombosis of small subcutaneous vessels and spreads through the perianal and genital regions and the skin of the perineal. Most cases have a perianal or colorectal focus and in a smaller proportion it originates from the urogenital tract. The mortality rate varies between 7.8 and 50%1-3, only timely diagnosis decreases the morbidity and mortality of this condition. Treatment includes surgical debridement of all necrotic tissue and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Key words: Fournier’s gangrene; gangrene; necrotizing fasciitis; infectious necrotizing of soft tissues.

ABSTRACTMaterials design for transparent p-type conducting oxides was extended to oxysulfide system. LaCuOS was selected as a candidate for a transparent p-type semiconductor. It was found that the electrical conductivity of LaCuOS was p-type and controllable from semiconducting to semi-metallic states by substituting Sr2+ for La3+. LaCuOS films showed high transparency in the visible region, and the bandgap estimated was approximately 3.1 eV. Moreover, it was revealed that LaCuOS showed sharp excitonic absorption and emission at the bandgap edge, which is advantageous for optical applications. A layered oxysulfide, LaCuOS, was proposed to be a promising material for optoelectronic devices.
