Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) and (b) are typical SEM pictures of dense nanodiamond film at different magnifications. Laser intensity: 5.8 GW/cm 2 . (c) A cubic diamond nanocrystal with bigger size. These bigger nanocrystals scattered on the surface of carbon films. (d) Phase diagram of carbon. (green star represents the location in phase diagram corresponding to the present experiment. (e) – (h) Schematic diagram of synthesis process for diamond nanocrystals.

Article Snippet: The inserted ball-and-stick models are done with Crystal Maker simulation, showing the plane view of the nanocrystalline diamond orientation. represents nanodiamonds with high crystallinity and different grain orientations, where the grain orientations are labeled by Crystalmaker with an incident beam along (001) shown in .

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Bright field HRTEM images of the nanodiamond particles; the white lines indicate the orientation and separation of the lattice while inserted profile is the interlayer spacing of nanodiamond planes and FFT analysis of this diamond crystal. (b) HRTEM images of tens nm sized nanodiamonds sitting together with interface. Nanocrystalline diamond with different orientations is marked with different colors. (c) FFT analysis of all the nanocrystalline diamonds marked in (b) corresponding to the color, except yellow area which exhibits low FFT signal and is difficult to analyze. The inserted ball-and-stick models are done with Crystal Maker simulation, showing the plane view of the nanocrystalline diamond orientation.
