  2. Diamond cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_cubic

    Rotating model of the diamond cubic crystal structure 3D ball-and-stick model of a diamond lattice Pole figure in stereographic projection of the diamond lattice showing the 3-fold symmetry along the [111] direction. In crystallography, the diamond cubic crystal structure is a repeating pattern of 8 atoms that certain materials may adopt as ...

  3. BARS apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BARS_apparatus

    The BARS technology was invented around 1989–1991 by the scientists from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. [2] In the center of the device, there is a ceramic cylindrical reaction cell of about 2 cm 3 in size.

  4. Superhard material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhard_material

    Cubic boron nitride adopts a sphalerite crystal structure, which can be constructed by replacing every two carbon atoms in diamond with one boron atom and one nitrogen atom. The short B-N (1.57 Å) bond is close to the diamond C-C bond length (1.54 Å), that results in strong covalent bonding between atoms in the same fashion as in diamond.

  5. List of semiconductor materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor...

    A compound semiconductor is a semiconductor compound composed of chemical elements of at least two different species. These semiconductors form for example in periodic table groups 13–15 (old groups III–V), for example of elements from the Boron group (old group III, boron, aluminium, gallium, indium) and from group 15 (old group V, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth).

  6. Germanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanium

    Germanium is the substrate of the wafers for high-efficiency multijunction photovoltaic cells for space applications, such as the Mars Exploration Rovers, which use triple-junction gallium arsenide on germanium cells. [81] High-brightness LEDs, used for automobile headlights and to backlight LCD screens, are also an important application. [32]

  7. Material properties of diamond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_properties_of_diamond

    The precise tensile strength of diamond is unknown, though strength up to 60 GPa has been observed, and theoretically it could be as high as 90–225 GPa depending on the sample volume/size, the perfection of diamond lattice and on its orientation: Tensile strength is the highest for the [100] crystal direction (normal to the cubic face ...

  8. Diamond-like carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon

    Naturally occurring diamond is almost always found in the crystalline form with a purely cubic orientation of sp 3 bonded carbon atoms. Sometimes there are lattice defects or inclusions of atoms of other elements that give color to the stone, but the lattice arrangement of the carbons remains cubic and bonding is purely sp 3.
