Title: | On the {111} <111> penetration twin density in CVD diamond films | Authors: | KNUYT, Gilbert NESLADEK, Milos MEYKENS, Kristien QUAEYHAEGENS, Carl STALS, Lambert |
Issue Date: | 1997 | Publisher: | Elsevier Science B.V. | Source: | Diamond and related materials, 6(11). p. 1697-1706 | Abstract: | Abstract The morphology of isolated crystals and polycrystalline films can thoroughly be influenced by twin nucleation. In order to obtain more insight into this rather complicated subject a new theoretical concept, called the nucleation surface, is introduced and worked out quantitatively. The nucleation surface on a given position of a crystal facet is proportional to the probability that the given position is overgrown by a twin, which has nucleated at an earlier time. It is calculated in detail for {111} <111> penetration twins on diamond facets, as a function of the position on the {111} plane and of the geometrical parameter α = √3 ν100/ν111. The analytical and numerical results show that the twin abundance depends strongly on both parameters. The calculations account well for a number of experimental observations. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/5674 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0925-9635(97)00128-3 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
