TLDR
In this article, a review of low-pressure growth methods of diamond films is presented, focusing on recent advances in the understanding of the mechanism of diamond nucleation and metastable growth, which raises hope that single crystalline diamond films are not far beyond reach.Abstract:
In the last decade, we have seen rapid developments in metastable diamond synthesis by means of low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. Concurrently, a fast growing interest in diamond technology has emerged. This review discusses the various low-pressure growth methods of diamond films. Particular attention is paid to recent advances in the understanding of the mechanism of diamond nucleation and metastable growth. These advances are discussed in connection with the advances in diamond heteroepitaxy, which raises hopes that single crystalline diamond films are not far beyond reach. Modern surface science techniques applied to diamond study have played an essential role in these achievements and their contributions are discussed.read more

Catalyst-Free Growth of Nanographene Films on Various Substrates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a remote plasma enhancement chemical vapor deposition (r-PECVD) system at relatively low temperatures, enabling the deposition of graphene films up to 4-inch wafer scale.

Low temperature growth of ultrananocrystalline diamond
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of trananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films is much less dependent on substrate temperature than for hydrogen-based CH4∕H2 plasmas.

Thermodynamics of metastable phase nucleation at the nanoscale
C.X. Wang,Guowei Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a universal thermodynamic approach on nanoscale to elucidate the formation of the metastable phases taking place in the micro-phase growth, which was used to study the theory of nucleation and growth of diamond nanowires inside diamond nanotubes.

A review of nucleation, growth and low temperature synthesis of diamond thin films
Dibakar Das,Raj N. Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Diamond thin films have outstanding optical, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, which make these attractive for applications in a variety of current and future systems as mentioned in this paper. But, their optical properties are not as good as those of conventional diamond thin films.

Tables of molecular vibrational frequencies. Consolidated volume II
TL;DR: The compilations of fundamental vibrational frequencies of molecules previously published as Tables of Molecular Vibrational Frequencies Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, and Part 8, which appeared in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data in 1972, 1973, and 1974, have been revised as mentioned in this paper.
