ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)We report the first investigation of the adsorption of deuterium and water on diamond (100) by infrared multiple-internal-reflection spectroscopy using a natural type iHa diamond internal reflection element. Infrared evidence was seen for the monohydride surface structure, with one hydrogen atom per surface carbon atom (Sc1D mode at 901 cm-l), while the dihydride (CD2) structure was not observed. Following exposure to water at elevated temperature, infrared absorption features were detected at 1280, 1200, 1125, 1080, and 720 cm-1 , and are assigned to ether (C-O-C), hydroxyl (C-OH), and carbonyl (>C=O) modes. The substantial observed reactivity of diamond with water indicates a potentially important role for surface hydroxyl and oxide species in the surface chemistry and morphological development of CVD diamond films.14.
