N-type doping of nanocrystalline diamond films with nitrogen and electrodes madetherefrom

摘要

An electrode having a surface of an electrically conducting ultrananocrystalline diamond having not less than 10<19> atoms/cm<3> nitrogen with an electrical conductivity at ambient temperature of not less than about 0.1 ( OMEGA <.>cm)<-1> is disclosed as is a method of remediating toxic materials with the electrode. An electron emission device incorporating an electrically conducting ultrananocrystalline diamond having not less that 10<19> atoms/cm<3> nitrogen with an electrical conductivity at ambient temperature of not less than about 0.1 ( OMEGA <.>cm)<-1> is disclosed.
