[20a-H103-5] Synthesis of new carbon materials containing Bi by solid source immersion CVD
Keywords:nanodiamond,microwave plasma CVD,bismuth
We used an unique technique to examine the possibility to dope bismuth to the diamond. we used "Solid source immersion technique" to supply high-density bismuth species. Molecule-like Raman spectra were observed from the film, which suggests the existence of various carbon nanostructures. We found nanoparticles of an unusual carbon allotrope (Chaoite) at grain boundaries of diamond microcrystals. Most of the bismuth was included among the nanoparticles.
