Title: | Direct visualization of boron dopant distribution and coordination in individual chemical vapor deposition nanocrystalline B-doped diamond grains | Authors: | Lu, Ying-Gang TURNER, Stuart Verbeeck, Johan JANSSENS, Stoffel WAGNER, Patrick HAENEN, Ken Van Tendeloo, Gustaaf |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | AMER INST PHYSICS | Source: | APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, 101 (4), p. (Article 041907) | Abstract: | The boron dopant distribution in individual heavily boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond film grains, with sizes ranging from 100 to 350nm in diameter, has been studied using a combination of high resolution annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy and spatially resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Using these tools, the boron distribution and local boron coordination have been determined. Quantification results reveal embedding of B dopants in the diamond lattice, and a preferential enrichment of boron at defective areas and twin boundaries. Coordination mapping reveals a distinct difference in coordination of the B dopants in "pristine" diamond areas and in defective regions. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
