Abstract
The annealing of detonation nanodiamond particles in the presence of aluminum is accompanied by small growth of these nanoparticles and their consolidation into nanostructural metal-diamond aggregates. These phenomena are indicative of the interaction of aluminum with impurity atoms and the formation of covalent bonds between surface carbon atoms of adjacent diamond nanocrystals.
