(author)A high-temperature procedure to hydrogenate diamond films using molecular hydrogen at atmospheric pressure was explored. Undoped and doped chemical vapour deposited (CVD) polycrystalline diamond films were treated according to our annealing method using a H2 gas flow down to ?50 ml/min (STP) at ?850?°C. The films were extensively evaluated by...journal article 2013

(author), Sudhölter, E.J.R. (author), De Smet, L.C.P.M. (author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Dulic, D. (author)A high-current annealing technique is used to fabricate nanogaps and hybrid diamond/graphite structures in boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond films. Nanometer-sized gaps down to ?1?nm are produced using a feedback-controlled current annealing procedure. The nanogaps are characterized using scanning electron microscopy and electronic transport...journal article 2012

Heremans, F.J. (author), Fuchs, G.D. (author), Wang, C.F. (author), Hanson, R. (author), Awschalom, D.D. (author)We report time-dependent photocurrent and transport measurements of sub-bandgap photoexcited carriers in nitrogen-rich (type Ib), single-crystal diamond. Transient carrier dynamics are characteristic of trapping conduction with long charge storage lifetimes of ? 3?hours. By measuring the photoexcited Hall effect, we confirm that the charge...journal article 2009

(author), Fuchs, G.D. (author), Hanson, R. (author), Awschalom, D.D. (author), Schenkel, T. (author)The ability to inject dopant atoms with high spatial resolution, flexibility in dopant species, and high single ion detection fidelity opens opportunities for the study of dopant fluctuation effects and the development of devices in which function is based on the manipulation of quantum states in single atoms, such as proposed quantum computers....journal article 2008
