Abstract

Diamond superlattices were fabricated by producing multilayer structures of isotopically pure carbon-12 (12C) and carbon-13 (13C), which confine electrons by a difference in band-gap energy. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurements were employed to characterize the isotopic composition of the diamond superlattices. Layers between 2 nm and 350 nm in thickness can be designed and fabricated using a microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition technique.
