Bottom-up Engineering of Diamond Nanostructures

Abstract

Engineering nanostructures from the bottom up enables the creation of carefully engineered complex structures that are not accessible via top down fabrication techniques, in particular, complex periodic structures for applications in photonics and sensing. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a bottom up approach that can be adopted and utilized to controllably build diamond nanostructures. A realization of periodic structures and optical wave-guiding is achieved by growing nanoscale single crystal diamond through a defined pattern.
