A Review on the Low-Dimensional and Hybridized Nanostructured Diamond Films

Figure 9

(a) The planar SEM image of the surface of single crystal diamond after oxygen plasma etching for 60 s having nanopits infilled with Au nanoparticles. (b) Calculated LSPR scattering cross section spectra of a semiellipsoidal Au NP placed in air (dark) and on diamond (red), showing the resonance peaks at 550 (in air) and 718 nm (on diamond). The inset of (b) reveals the cross-sectional electric field intensity () distribution in a diamond-nanopit [27, 28].
