In summary, soft x-ray techniques have been shown to be effective in improving the surface terminations on diamond. By using low-energy x-rays, researchers have been able to modify the surface structure of diamond, resulting in improved surface stability and increased hydrophobicity. This method offers a non-invasive and precise way to control and enhance the properties of diamond surfaces, making it a promising technique for various applications in fields such as optoelectronics and biomedicine. Additionally, the use of soft x-rays allows for a deeper understanding of the surface chemistry and electronic structure of diamond, providing valuable insights for further advancements in this area.

How did you find PF?
Google, many, many times.
PhD in surface science, focused on developing novel surface terminations on diamond. Expertise in soft x-ray XPS, LEED, and STM.

Currently working on improving the molecular level understanding of the interface of electrolytes with complex metal oxide surfaces, using ambient pressure XPS and a broken old STM that hates me nearly as much as I hate it.
