Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We analyse be means of transmision electron microscopy techniques the processes during the initial stages of diamond growth by magnetron sputtering. We show that a comparatively high density of C is found as deep as 100 nm in the Si substrate. The carbon arranges in planar defects in {111} and in {001} lattice planes. Our analysis shows that these defects can best be described by coherently strained inclusions that resemble hexagonal SiC platelets. These can act as seeds for orientated growth of diamond on Si.
