Program | Author Index | Committees | Sponsors | Abstracts

The ICNDST and ADC conferences were held jointly in 2006 near Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. These conferences have a tradition of presenting high impact scientific and technological advances along with critical developments to enable the application of diamond, carbon nanostructures, and related materials in a diverse range of products.

The conference included invited and contributed talks as well as poster presentations, a conference reception, and an optional banquet. A special session on technology transfer was planned and an equipment and manufacturers exhibit area displayed the latest approaches in film growth, characterization and applications. The conference proceedings will be published in Diamond and Related Materials.

The conference addressed the following materials:

  • Diamond, nanocrystalline and diamond-like films
  • Synthetic HPHT diamond
  • Nanodiamond, nanotubes, nanostructures and nanostructured carbon films
  • B-C-N films and nanostructures
  • and related materials.

The conference stressed the most forward looking science, technology, and applications with particular emphasis on the synergistic aspects that connect them. The following topics were emphasized

  • Film and Bulk Growth Science and Technology: substrate technologies, nucleation and growth, defect, doping and impurity control, HPHT synthesis for substrates, large-area deposition.
  • Nanoscale Science and Technology: growth mechanisms, control of diameter, doping, chirality, functionalization and properties of CNT, nanodiamond formation, adamantine molecular structures, self assembly and nanostructure integration.
  • Processing and Device Fabrication: surface processing, materials integration, nanoscale control, and precision nanofabrication approaches.
  • Phenomena and Characterization: characterization specifically directed towards critical materials properties and phenomena.
  • Electrochemical and Chemical Sensing Applications: electrode sensitivity and range, specific analyte sensitivity, electrode stability, sensor device structures.
  • Biological and Medical Applications: bio-functionalization, non specific binding, protein adsorption, biosensors, cell adsorption, biocompatibility, toxicity, combinatorial approaches, biomedical applications.
  • Electronics and UV Optoelectronics: homoepitaxial growth and defect reduction, doping and high mobility diamond, power electronics, UV detectors, superconductivity and superconducting device structures.
  • Particle Detector Applications: charge collection efficiency, priming and pumping, thick film growth processes.
  • Electron Emission Applications: field enhancing structures, thermionic emission, field emission, integrated vacuum microelectronics, displays, lighting and microwave tube applications.
  • Mechanical Properties and Hard Coatings: friction and wear, nanotribology, superhard and high pressure materials, superflat materials.
  • MEMS, NEMS, and Micro/Nano-Fluidic Device Structures: strain control, fabrication approaches, precision nanosctructure formation, diamond film microfluidics, nanotube fluidics.
  • Thermal Management and Energy Materials: integrated Si-on-diamond wafers, thermionic/thermoelectric energy conversion, nanostructure heat transfer and cooling, fuel cell membranes, thermo-photovoltaic structures.
