Abstract
The effects of nitriding and carburizing chromium substrates on the nucleation of CVD diamond were studied. Surface morphology, incubation time and diamond particle density at the initial stages of deposition were examined using high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) as a function of the substrate pretreatment. The presence of amorphous carbon, as well as residual stress in the deposited films were determined by Raman spectroscopy.
