Diamond-based applications
Nanoindentation using combined STM technique with Berkovich conductive diamond tip
The possibilities to use diamond nanotools for making elements of nanoelectronics have been proposed.
Nanoscale experiments & nanofabrications
with conductive diamond tip (CDT) that include processing, visualization and tunneling spectroscopy of the surface. Fabrication and characterization of nanostructures for nanoelectronics, data storages and biology are proposed
Atomically resolved STM imaging
Extremely high resolution surface imaging can be achieved in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments with diamond probes at very small tunneling gaps comparable with inter-atomic distances in solids. Conductive diamond tips can provide both spatially localized electron orbitals at the apex atom and enhanced tip stability at small tip-sample separations.
Nanotechnology 2014.
The results of STM experiments, density functional theory calculations of the tip and surface electronic structure, and first principles tunneling current calculations demonstrate that the highest spatial resolution can be achieved with diamond tips at tip-sample distances of 3-5 angstroms when the pz orbital of the tip provides its maximum contribution to the tunneling current.
