Abstract
The metallization of diamond film has been studied by performing ab initio calculations of systems involving aluminum atom using efficient basis sets. Reasonable behavior of the Al atomic interaction with diamond has been revealed. It is shown that the Al diffusions into the diamond bulk are difficult, due to large barriers to overcome. For the high energy Al atom entering into diamond, the Al substitution for C atom is thermodynamically more favorable than the Al diffusion in the diamond. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
