ABSTRACT

Surface chemical modification via air and hydrogen heat treatment was found to relieve the aggregation of nanodiamond (ND) seed particles and lead to a significantly enhanced nucleation density for ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) film growth. After heat treatment in air and hydrogen, modification of surface functionalities and increase in the zeta potential were observed. Mean size of the ND aggregates was also dramatically reduced from ~2 μm to ~55 nm. Si surface seeded with ND particles heat-treated at 600oC in hydrogen produced a much higher nucleation density of ~2.7 × 1011 cm−2 compared to untreated ND seeds.
