“…[10][11][12][13][14] On the other hand, oxidized diamond has positive electron affinity, and it has been recently shown that the electron affinity of diamond can be adjusted by appropriate variation of hydrogen and oxygen concentration on its surface. 12,15,16 Schematic mechanisms of reactions of oxygen activated by a hot ͑1200-1800°C͒ filament, with clean and hydrogenated diamond surfaces were discussed on the basis of high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy ͑HREELS͒ measurements, 1,2,6,7,9 valence band photoemission, 17 Rutherford backscattering, 4,5 infrared spectroscopy 18 and other experimental techniques. From these studies, different reaction products were claimed to form on the substrate surface, including ether-, peroxide-, carbonyl-, and hydroxyl-type bonding.…”
