Synthesis, Properties and Applications of Ultrananocrystalline Diamond

Abstract

Magnetic resonance techniques, namely Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), are powerful non-destructive tools for studying electron-nuclear and crystalline structure, inherent electronic and magnetic properties and transformations in carbon-based nanomaterials. EPR allows to control purity of ultradispersed diamond (UDD) samples, to study the origin, location and spin-lattice relaxation of radical-type carbon-inherited paramagnetic centers (RPC) as well as their transformation during the process of temperature driven diamond-to-graphite conversion. Solid state NMR on 1H and 13C nuclei provide one with information on the crystalline quality, allows quantitative estimation of the number of different allotropic forms, and reveals electron-nuclear interactions within the UDD samples under study. Results of recent EPR and 13C NMR study of pure and transition metal doped UDD samples, obtained by detonation technique, are reported and discussed. In addition to characteristic EPR signals, originated form para- and ferromagnetic impurities and doping ions, the UDD samples show a high concentration of RPC (up to 1020 spin/gram), which are due to structural defects (dangling C-C bonds) on the diamond cluster surface. In-situ EPR sample’s vacuumization experiment in conjunction with precise SQUID magnetization measurements allowed concluding that each UDD particle carries a single spin (dangling bond) per each from 8 crystal (111) facets bounded the particle.
