Description
The ultra-nano crystalline diamond can be produced at room temerature in fluorocarbon (C4F8) plasmas. In the gas phase, the various ionic species were detected by quadrupole mass analyzer. The species included chain molecules of CnFk (4 ≤ n ≤ 14, n - 2 ≤ k ≤ 2n + 2), carbon clusters of Cn (10 ≤ n ≤ 14, 22 ≤ n ≤ 31, 36 ≤ n ≤ 39), and their derivatives. The clusters of nanometer scale tend to be heated up to several hundred K by ion impacts even in room-temperature plasmas, resulting in the crystallization of diamond
