Highly conductive nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond films with enhanced field emission properties: triethylamine as a new nitrogen source

In this study, triethylamine (TEA) dissolved in the methanol was used as a liquid nitrogen source to synthesize nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD) films on silicon substrates via microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD).
