Here we report the synthesis of functional diamond microstructures and coatings, including diamond microfibers, microspheres, tubes, and large-area thin film, using amorphous and graphitic carbon precursors by hot filament chemical vapor deposition. The characteristics of microstructures depend upon initial carbon precursors and their laser annealing pretreatments. Low-cost and abundant carbon precursors act as diamond nucleation sites and accelerate diamond growth, while laser annealing can further promote the nucleation and growth of diamond. As a result, carbon microfibers are converted to diamond microfibers, while large diamond microspheres are formed from multipulse laser-annealed carbon microfibers. Both of the diamond structures consist of 5-fold twinned microcrystallites. Highly dense and phase-pure diamond films are observed using porous carbon seed, and individual diamond tubes with porous walls are obtained by using carbon nanotube hollow fibers. The electron backscatter diffraction analysis confirms the diamond cubic lattice structure, while sharp diamond peaks (1331–1333 cm–1) in Raman spectra demonstrate the excellent diamond quality of prepared diamond microstructures.}, number={8}, journal={ACS APPLIED NANO MATERIALS}, author={Haque, Ariful and Liu, Yanming and Taqy, Saif and Narayan, Jay}, year={2023}, month={Apr}, pages={6488–6495} } @article{joshi_haque_gupta_narayan_narayan_2021, title={Synthesis of multifunctional microdiamonds on stainless steel substrates by chemical vapor deposition}, volume={171}, ISSN={["1873-3891"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.carbon.2020.09.064}, abstractNote={We report on the synthesis of multifunctional microdiamonds by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steel (SS) substrates. The increase in wettability achieved by surface scratching and the structure of ultra-dense Q-carbon achieved high nucleation density and minimized strains in diamond films. Notably, these diamond films exhibit a high amount of twinning, leading to the formation of five-fold microdiamonds. The diamonds on scratched SS substrate and Q-carbon interlayer exhibit a full width at half maximum of 8.25 cm−1 and 11.5 cm−1, compared to 26 cm−1 on bare SS substrate. The diamond films grown on bare SS substrate exhibited cracking due to high tensile stress of 2.3 GPa, ascribed to thermal mismatch between SS and diamond. The electron backscattered diffraction investigations reveal iron inclusions in diamonds synthesized on bare SS substrates, which may create ferromagnetism in these diamonds. This route, compared to the ion beam implantation method using ferromagnetic ions, yields better samples. At 800 °C, 1012 Fe atoms/cm2s are transferred from the SS substrate into the diamonds. The dominant growth orientation for these CVD diamonds was determined to be <110> out of plane.

The heterostructures of BZT-BCT/LSMO on LAO substrate were highly (0 0 l)-oriented whereas these were randomly oriented on Pt substrate. The well-behaved M-H hysteresis loops were observed at room temperature for both heterostructures indicating the ferromagnetic behavior of LSMO. The right shift of the hysteresis loop of the heterostructure was observed due to the magnetoelectric coupling between ferroelectric and ferromagnetic layers. The FMR measurements yield optimum values of different important parameters such as the linewidth offset, Gilbert damping, gyromagnetic ratio, and in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field of the thin films, which are essential to design spin valve and magnetic tunneling based devices. We found the lowest Gilbert damping parameter of ∼0.03 for the BZT-BCT/LSMO/LAO heterostructure due to spin orbit coupling. In addition, the gyromagnetic ratio was also obtained to be small (0.002 GHz/Oe) in the same film.

All NJs were fabricated using a standard biochemical synthesis process. Structural, optical, vibrational, and biochemical interface properties of nano-bio composites are probed by different complementary characterization techniques. The XRD patterns of the NPs and NJs illustrate a highly phase pure ZnO structure. A visible green emission in the photoluminescence spectrum, mainly associated with the oxygen vacancies on the surface of ZnO nanostructure, is significantly reduced by the incorporation of glucose biomolecules. The strong binding interaction of glucose biomolecule on the surface of ZnO NPs results in the reduction in green-yellow-orange emission intensities. The interaction of glucose molecules modifies oxygen vacancies by capturing free electrons from the ZnO surface region. Significant changes in the peak intensity and relative peak position of some of the glucose and ZnO NPs in Raman spectra refer to the direct binding between these two nano- and bio-components. In the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the binding energy of O 1s core level in NJs increases from 531 eV (O 1s core level position for ZnO) and the increment is more with higher initial glucose concentration in the solution during synthesis.

The Raman spectroscopy of the CNTs after the laser irradiation showed the characteristic diamond peak at around 1324-1325 cm−1. The downshift of this peak from its theoretical position (at 1332 cm−1) is explained by phonon confinement in nanostructured diamond. The SEM and TEM images show the formation of diamond mostly at the tip and bends of the CNTs. The grain size distribution and the shape of the converted nanodiamonds suggest that the transformation takes place by melting of the CNTs in a super undercooled state by nanosecond laser pulses, and subsequent rapid quenching to convert it into phase-pure diamond. The EBSD analysis illustrates the phase-pure single crystal diamond formation at the tips and bends of the CNTs. The high-resolution electron energy-loss spectrum in the STEM contains characteristic σ* peak at 292 eV for sp3 bonding of diamond.

ZnO nanoparticles deposited at high pressure act as nucleation sites, eliminating requirement of catalyst to fabricate VAZO nanorods. Two sharp ZnO peaks with high intensity correspond to the (0002) and (0004) planes in X-ray diffraction pattern confirm the growth of ZnO nanorods, oriented along the c-axis. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images indicate a regular arrangement of vertically aligned hexagonal closed pack nano-structures of ZnO.

Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrical measurements on the RGO films help to explain the observed MR properties in the device. The temperature-dependent (5–400 K) electrical characterization of the thin films shows two distinct transport regimes: at low temperature, it follows 2-D Efros-Shoklovoski variable range hopping (VRH) transport mechanism and above 200 K, the device shows Arrhenius-like transport behavior. The crossover from VRH transport to Arrhenius transport is due to shortening in the characteristic lengths in the disordered 2-D system. We interpret the source of negative MR by vacancy and disorder-induced magnetic moments and the diffuse scattering at crystallite boundaries. At the high applied magnetic field, the lifting in degeneracy due to the Lorentz force explains the large positive MR effect. The highest value of the measured MR (160%) is surprisingly high for a non-magnetic material at room temperature, which can be attributed to the greater inhomogeneity in the PLD grown wafer-scale RGO thin films.}, number={12}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS}, author={Haque, Ariful and Abdullah-Al Mamun, Md and Taufique, M.

In this study, we report on the use and the role of Q-carbon as an intermediate layer to successfully deposit large-area diamond film on c-sapphire by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). The Q-carbon consists of very high-density diamond tetrahedra which act as the embryo for diamond nucleation. Different techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy show that continuous diamond films with good crystallinity and without any impurity phase can be deposited on the Q-carbon coated single crystal sapphire substrate. The Q-carbon layer is very adherent and it negates the thermal mismatch between the diamond film and the sapphire substrate. A small blue shift in the Raman peak of the diamond from its equilibrium position suggests the deposition of the CVD diamond film with minimal stress (1.14 GPa).
