Diamonds: Properties, Synthesis & Applications

This book gathers research from across the globe in the study of the properties, synthesis and applications of diamonds. Topics discussed in this compilation include amperometric biosensors based on boron-doped diamond electrodes; optical properties of diamond like carbon thin films; dynamic friction polishing of diamond surfaces; boron-doped diamond as a versatile electrode material; diamond deposition process and its application to substrates and specific defects induced by molecular beam implantation into a diamond.
