The Oxygen Coverage on Diamond Surfaces
Abstract Polished diamond surfaces have previously been shown to have hydrogen atoms terminating the “dangling bonds”, but we have found that surfaces prepared by polishing or cleaning in aqueous media show a fractional monolayer coverage of oxygen atoms when examined by XPS or RBS. Since oxygen is divalent, it may well be present in the form of hydroxyl groups (on (100) surfaces, ether bridges are possible). The large van der Waals radii of the oxygen atoms should prevent their accommodation on adjacent sites, and limit coverage on (111), (110) and (100) surfaces to one-third, one-third, and one-half monolayers respectively; the mean values determined by RBS are 0.30 ± 0.03, 0.31 ± 0.05, and 0.51 ± 0.04 respectively. These numbers are consistent with the XPS results.
