Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on "Advances in Diamond Materials and Films".
The synthesis, characterization, and processing of single-crystal diamonds, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders, and heterostructures with other advanced materials are topics of interest for the technical and review articles that will comprise this Special Issue.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest experimental and theoretical developments in the field through a combination of original research papers and review articles. In particular, the main topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- The fundamentals and new concepts of diamond hybrid materials;
- Novel synthesis methods for diamond and hybrid materials;
- Surface modeling and characterization methods for diamond hybrid materials;
- The applications of diamond hybrid materials.
