Figure Lengend Snippet: Results of UPS measurements for Continuous, Nanograss, and Nanotip BDD substrates as-grown and with -H, -O, and -F terminations. Energy edges of valence band maxima (E VBM ), cutoff energies (E cutoff ), conduction band minima (E CBM ), diamond’s bandgap (E BG ), derived values of work functions (WFs), and electron affinities (EAs) are provided in eV. The negative electron affinity (NEA) was observed on the surfaces of the H-terminated BDD samples.
Article Snippet: For the first time, we compared three different nanostructured BDD film morphologies (Continuous, Nanograss, and Nanotips) with differently terminated surfaces (-H, -O, and -F) to commercially available Ground Steel plates.
