Fig. 4From: Simultaneous synthesis of nanodiamonds and graphene via plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MW PE-CVD) on copperOverview photos of samples synthesized under different plasma conditions. Left C2/Hα = 0.3, middle C2/Hα = 0.14 and right C2/Hα = 0.045 realized by reducing the methane concentration. Photos are taken by an optical microscope using a ×100 magnification. All scale bars indicate a length of 10 µm. While the size of the nanocrystalline diamond spheres is proportional to the C2/Hα-ratio, a higher nucleation rate can be observed as the C2/Hα-ratio is reducedBack to article page
