Lithographic patterning with 16O+ ions has been demonstrated by us, and others in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Motivated by the molecular level similarity of PTFE with parylene-C and parylene-F; we have investigated the possibility of using 0.6–2 MeV oxygen ions to pattern these polymers using aperture mask lithography for prosthetic applications in inner-ear surgery.
Parylene-C and –F...

Invited Technical Oral Communication
Diamond has a broad field of applications due to their extraordinary properties like the pronounced thermal conduction and hardness. In mineral science the hardness is used at high pressure laboratories in diamond anvil cells (DACs). Here an intrinsic heater could be useful to generate high temperatures besides the high pressure. Furthermore diamond is one of the most prominent candidates for...

In the present work we report about an innovative ion beam fabrication technique whereby sub-superficial graphitic nanostructures can be created in diamond.
Ion beam implantation is an effective tool to modify diamond. In particular ion-damaged diamond can be converted to graphite, which is electrically conductive and displays an higher reactivity to chemical etching with respect to the...

Diamond is a unique material with outstanding electrical, optical, chemical and mechanical properties. Recently, the negative nitrogen-vacancy color center (NV-) in diamond with its specific luminescence properties has been identifies as being the most suitable candidate for realization of scalable solid-state quantum computing systems (qubits) operating at room temperature. The quantum...
