Overview

Atomic imaging identifies hydrogen and boron aggregates in boron-doped diamond, suggesting passivation mechanisms.

Key Points

  • The study aims to identify the structural arrangement and chemical states of boron in boron-doped diamond.
  • Conducted spectro-photoelectron holography to analyze boron-doped diamond thin films.
  • Examined the atomic environment of boron to identify impurities and aggregates.
  • Visualized hydrogen trapping sites in the diamond structure.
  • Identified boron dimers and boron-hydrogen complexes in the diamond.
  • Demonstrated distinct chemical shifts caused by different atomic sites for hydrogen.
  • Revealed that hydrogen incorporation affects the passivation of boron acceptors.
