S. Han et al., RADIATION-DAMAGE STUDY OF POLYCRYSTALLINE CVD AND NATURAL TYPE-IIA DIAMONDS USING RAMAN AND PHOTOLUMINESCENCE SPECTROSCOPIES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 80-1, 1993, pp. 1446-1450
By employing Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and transient
photoconductivity, we have studied the damage caused by 5 MeV alpha-p
article bombardment on both CVD and type IIa natural diamonds over the
fluence range of 1.6 x 10(12) cm-2 to 8 x 10(15) cm-2. The H3 PL peak
at 2.46 eV is seen and it dominates the Raman/PL spectra for fluences
greater than 1 x 10(14) cm-2. By introducing additional trapping/reco
mbination centers into the diamond films via atomic displacements, dra
matic changes in electrical properties are observed. The effects of po
lycrystallinity on radiation damage in CVD diamond relative to single-
crystal, natural diamond are discussed.
