Abstract
Diamond has been uniformly deposited onto the surface of thin metal wires using hot filament CVD. The diamond-coated wires are stronger and stiffer than the uncoated wires. Subsequent etching of the metal core in a suitable chemical reagent allows free-standing diamond tubes to be made, the typical dimensions being 1 cm long with an internal diameter of 10–150 μm. The formation of a thick, chemical-resistant carbide layer at the metal-diamond interface when using Ti and W wires is investigated.
