摘要
Diamond deposition on a series of ferrous alloy substrates has been examined in a microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor. The results show that the nucleation, growth, and adhesion properties of the diamond are strongly dependent on the types and relative concentrations of the alloy elements in the substrates. Along with high nucleation densities, continuous and adherent diamond films have been successfully fabricated on the Al-modified alloy substrates, even in the absence of inter-layers or nucleation enhancing surface pre-treatment. The mechanism is preliminarily clarified regarding the delicate competition and balance between the base metal and the alloying elements in terms of their activation and deactivation ability on catalyzing graphite formation during deposition process.
