Zusammenfassung

Nano-crystalline diamond is a new carbon phase with numerous intriguing physical and chemical properties and applications. Small doped nanodiamonds for example do find increased use as novel quantum markers and sensors in biomedical applications. However, making nanodiamonds below sizes of 5 nm with controlled composition has been elusive so far. The aim of this project is engineered growth of functional nanodiamonds with unprecedented degree of control of size, doping, isotopic composition and surface termination. The approach should allow to incorporate a custom designed seed molecul...
