Abstract

The process is an arc jet CVD diamond deposition process with very low methane, less than 0.07%, and the addition of water. The resulting material has is characterized by a narrow Raman peak, a relatively large lattice constant, and a charge carrier collection distance of at least 25 microns. Also disclosed is a particle detector device which makes use of the diamond material according to the invention.
