Synthesis, structure, and opto-electronic properties of organic dies on diamond
Rezek, Bohuslav ; Čermák, Jan ; Ukraintsev, Egor ; Hubík, Pavel ; Mareš, Jiří J. ; Ledinský, Martin ; Fejfar, Antonín ; Kočka, Jan ; Kromka, Alexander
We prepare a thin-film heterojunction of polypyrrole (Ppy) on hydrogen-terminated diamond by electro-polymerization from solution. We combine advanced scanning techniques (AFM, KFM, micro-Raman) to characterize microscopic structural, chemical, and opto-electronic properties of such system.

Diamond chemical vapor deposition
Kromka, Alexander
Present paper reviews growth of diamond thin films by various chemical vapor deposition processes. Basic characteristics and common features of processes are pointed out with a respect to quality of grown films and standard process parameters. Novel and non-standard diamond syntheses techniques are briefly discussed.

Displacement Interferometry in Passive Fabry-Perot Cavity
Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej ; Oulehla, Jindřich ; Pokorný, Pavel ; Fejfar, Antonín ; Stuchlík, Jiří
We present techniques oriented to improvement of precision in incremental interferometric measurements of displacements over a limited range where the atmospheric wavelength of the coherent laser source is either directly stabilized to a mechanical reference or is corrected to fit to the reference. This may represent a reduction of uncertainty linking the laser wavelength not to indirectly evaluated refractive index but to the setup mechanics which cannot be completely eliminated. Here we suggest an approach where the traditional interferometers are replaced by a passive Fabry-Perot cavity with position sensing using an intracavity transparent photodetector.

Electrostatic assembly of alumina nanoparticles on nanocrystalline diamond films
Verveniotis, Elisseos ; Kromka, Alexander ; Rezek, Bohuslav
We apply atomic force microscope for local electrostatic charging of oxygen-terminated nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films deposited on silicon, to induce electrostatically driven self-assembly of colloidal alumina nanoparticles into micro-patterns. The NCD films have sub-100 nm thickness and 60% relative sp2 phase content. We characterize charge contrast and stability in air, fluorocarbon oil and water by Kelvin force microscopy. We discuss factors influencing the charging process and demonstrate that the contrast of more than ± 1 V is needed to induce selfassembly of the nanoparticles via coulombic and polarization forces.
