AbstractThe effect of annealing in air on internal structure and optical properties of hot filament CVD nanocrystalline diamond films was investigated. Oxidation of the films lead to selective removal of intercrystallite layers with formation of highly porous structure with characteristic dimensions of several nanometers. Dramatic changes in optical transmission and Raman spectra were also observed. The origin of the two Raman spectrum maxima at 1140 and 500 cm−1 is discussed. Hydrogen absorption and desorption processes in porous diamond were studied.

Nanocrystalline diamond films, as other forms of diamond, possess a set of extreme properties, such as high thermal conductivity, hardness and resistance to hazard environments. Although an enormous focus has been placed into the deposition of nanocrystalline diamond films, most of this research uses microwave plasma assisted CVD systems. However, the growth conditions used in microwave systems cannot be directly used in hot-filament CVD systems. In this paper, it is meant to enlarge the knowledge of the process of depositing nanocrystalline films on different engineering materials, by means of hot-filament CVD systems. The coated materials include silicon (Si); titanium (Ti); tungsten carbide with cobalt as binder (WC-Co); and tungsten carbide with nickel as binder (WC-Ni). On the former two substrates, the diamond films were achieved on the bare substrates and with the use of an interlayer. The interlayers used were chromium nitride (CrN) and titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN). Additionally, the as-grown films were characterized for hardness, quality and microstructure using scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and nanohardness testing.

The electron field emission from carbon nanotubes on nanocrystalline diamond films was investigated. Carbon nanotubes and nano-diamond films were deposited on Si substrates by hot filament chemical vapor deposition. The experimental results showed that the carbon nanotubes on nanostructured films exhibited a lower value of the turn-on electric field than those of carbon nanotubes and nano-diamond. It was found that the turn-on field of nanotubes on nano-diamond was about 0.9V/μm, which was lower than those of carbon nanotubes and nano-diamond.
