description | The interaction of diethylsulfide (DES) with atomically clean diamond surfaces prepared by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) has been studied, in order to gain chemical insight into the use of this compound as a precursor for sulfur deposition and on the chemistry of sulfur at diamond surfaces. DES is found to display a negligible reactive sticking probability on diamond in the temperature range from room temperature to 900 °C. When thermally activated using a hot filament, the efficient deposition of both sulfur and hydrocarbon species is observed. Very facile diffusion of sulfur away from the surface into the bulk of the film is seen at comparatively low temperatures (approximately 500 °C), suggesting that this is associated with diffusion via grain boundaries. |
