Diamond Electronics ― Fundamentals to Applications：VOLUME956

These proceedings of the November 2006 symposium include such topics as the fundamentals of the growth and characteristics of diamond, nanocrystalline diamond and diamond-like carbon, doping diamond to create n-types or p-types (or even superconductors), the type of surface chemistry displayed by diamond in both gaseous and liquid environments, the types of defect centers that form in diamond and controlling spin states in diamond. Papers on applications address such topics as the formation of chemical and biochemical sensors, diamond diodes, transistors, radiation detectors, and photodetectors and the use of diamond within quantum information processing, including applications in cryptography. This volume includes almost half of the papers presented with overviews of all topics. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
