This book is in honor of the contribution of Professor Xin Jiang (Institute of Materials
Engineering University of Siegen Germany) to diamond. The objective of this book is to
familiarize readers with the scientific and engineering aspects of CVD diamond films and to
provide experienced researchers scientists and engineers in academia and industry with the
latest developments and achievements in this rapidly growing field. This 2nd edition consists
of 14 chapters providing an updated systematic review of diamond research ranging from its
growth and properties up to applications. The growth of single-crystalline and doped diamond
films is included. The physical chemical and engineering properties of these films and
diamond nanoparticles are discussed from theoretical and experimental aspects. The applications
of various diamond films and nanoparticles in the fields of chemistry biology medicine
physics and engineering are presented.
