Abstract.
The electronic structure of samples produced by nanodiamond annealing has been examined using ultra-soft X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Analysis of spectra of diamond/graphite composites showed that carbon atoms constituting the nanoparticles are at least in three states: diamond-like state, graphitic-like state and interface carbon, characterized by high electron localization. Comparison between theoretical spectra of the models and experimental spectra suggested the latter states correspond to three-coordinated carbon atoms from diamond surface.
