Abstract: Diamond is a unique and remarkable mineral known for its exceptional properties, making it one of the most coveted gemstones in the world. Diamond is also known for its exceptional physical properties, including high thermal conductivity, wide bandgap, high breakdown field, and high carrier mobility, high stability in different solutions and under harsh conditions, tuneable surface terminations and the possibility to form composites with other materials. These properties make diamond an attractive material for electronic devices and biomedical sensing applications.
In this presentation, the progress and achievements of synthetic diamond in our group will be shared. This talk will start from the properties of gemstone diamond, followed by the experimental details of their synthesis by means of chemical vapor deposition techniques. After demonstrating the characterization of the diamond materials, their applications in electronic devices (e.g., UV sensors, FETs), cold water cleaning (e.g., nanodiamond additives), and antimicrobial research will be highlighted. The future research directions of diamond electronics will be also discussed and outlined.
