TL;DR
This paper demonstrates the growth of diamond thin films using tequila as a precursor via PLI-CVD, with characterization confirming diamond crystallinity on silicon and stainless steel substrates.
Contribution
It introduces a novel, bio-based precursor for diamond film synthesis using PLI-CVD, expanding material sources and potential applications.
Findings
Diamond films with spherical crystallites were successfully grown.
Raman spectroscopy confirmed the characteristic diamond signature.
Films were deposited on silicon and stainless steel substrates.
Abstract
Diamond thin films were growth using Tequila as precursor by Pulsed Liquid Injection Chemical Vapor Deposition (PLI-CVD) onto both silicon (100) and stainless steel 304 at 850 C. The diamond films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The spherical crystallites (100 to 400 nm) show the characteristic 1332 cm-1 Raman band of diamond.
