DIAMOND NANOTECHNOLOGY
Synthesis and Applications

by James C Sung (Kinik Company, National Taiwan University & National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan) & Jianping Lin (City of Hope National Medical Center, USA)

This book on nanodiamonds is the first of its kind. Nanodiamonds are indispensable for polishing industrial materials (e.g. computer hard drives and read heads) and advanced ceramics (e.g. silicon carbide and gem diamond). This book is valuable for those dealing with nanodiamonds, as well as these interested in a general education of nano-sized materials.

Contents:

• Diamond in the Sky
• Dawn of the Diamond Age
• Diamond Synthesis in Perspective
• Micron Fines and Nanodiamonds
• Dynamite Diamond
• Nanodiamond Applications
• Biological Applications of Diamond
• Amorphous Diamond as Thermionic Energy Converters
• Fluorinated DLC for Tribological Applications
• Gem Diamond Growth

Readership: Experts and researchers in the nanotechnology, diamond and semiconductor industries.

"The reader will re-realize how many properties diamond have of best characteristics amongst the materials, how wide are its applications, how are the new technology items coming out, in spite of its natural born history, with the fascinating introduction of 'Diamond in the Sky'!"
