Beschreibung
This book focuses on the scientific and engineering aspects of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond films, presenting the latest developments in this rapidly growing field. This second, expanded edition provides an updated systematic review of the recent advances in diamond research, ranging from its growth and properties to its applications. It also describes the growth of single-, polycrystalline and doped diamond films, and discusses their physical, chemical and engineering-related properties from theoretical and experimental points of view. Further, it presents the applications of diamond films as well as nanodiamond (particles, wires, etc.) in the fields of chemistry, biology, medicine, physics and engineering. Including seven updated and seven new chapters dealing with novel topics of diamond research, such as single crystalline diamond growth and applications, diamond microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices, chemical mechanical polishing of diamond, diamond for field electron emission, catalytic and energy applications, and diamond electrochemical devices as well as interface properties and applications of diamond nanoparticles. This book is thus a valuable resource for experienced researchers, scientists and engineers in academia and industry.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Nianjun Yang is working as a senior scientist and the leader of the Nanomaterials group at the Institute of Materials Engineering, University of Siegen, Germany. He worked as the group leader of Biosensor team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF) Germany from 2008 to 2014, as an invited researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Japan from 2006 to 2008 and as a postdoctoral researcher at New Mexico State University, USA from 2005 to 2006. He received his PhD from the University of Fukui, Japan in 2005. His current research interests cover CVD growth of carbon and related materials as well as their applications for electrochemistry, biointerfaces, and sustainable chemistry. He has published more than 130 papers in peer-reviewed journals, edited 1 book series, 4 books, contributed 10 book chapters, and delivered 40 invited talks and 60 oral presentations at international conferences. He has been a program member of Hasselt Diamond Workshop since 2013 and the International conference of Diamond and Related Materials since 2014 as well as Nanodiamond and New Carbon (NDNC) in 2016. He is a guest-editor of nine journals (e.g., Small, Nanoscale, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, Carbon, Diamond and Related Materials, Electroanalysis, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, and Physica Status Solidi A ), and an advisory member of the journals of Diamond and Related Materials as well as Scientific Reports. He has organized various 10 times carbon-related symposia at E-MRS Spring and Fall Meetings.
