Abstract

Advances in diamond film growth have prompted us to study the interfaces involved in this process: the interface with the substrate, and the growth interface with the ambient hydrocarbon vapor. Carbon chemistry lies at the heart of the properties of both interfaces, and much of the relevant chemistry is not well understood. We report here the energies involved in some idealized chemical processes that may be important in the growth process. Results (Schottky barriers, interface energies) for diamond/metal interfaces are also reported, and the especially unusual diamond/nickel results we have recently obtained are discussed in some detail.
