Diamond-like carbon (DLC) has been explored as a biomaterial with potential use for coating implantable devices and surgical instruments. In this study the interaction of DLC with mammalian neuronal cells has been studied along with its modifications to improve its function as a biomaterial. We describe the use of DLC, oxidised DLC and phosphorus-doped DLC to support the growth and survival of primary...
An unusual phase of carbon with the fcc crystal structure, the lattice constant of which is very close to that of diamond, was reported before in a number of publications. In all the published works, the existence of fcc carbon could not be unambiguously established, as only insignificant amounts of fcc carbon in mixture with other carbon modifications were obtained so far. The present work provides...
A new carbon modification having a face-centred cubic (fcc) structure has been obtained as a result of the transformation of a diamond surface during treatment in hydrogen plasma. The calculated density of electronic states of the fcc carbon phase provides evidence that it is a metallic form of carbon. The experimentally obtained crystal lattice parameter of the fcc carbon phase is found to be 0.3563...
