Abstract

Isolated, micro-metre sized diamonds are grown by micro-wave plasma chemical vapour deposition technique on Si(001) substrates. Each diamond is uniquely identified by markers milled in the Si substrate by Ga⁺ focused ion beam. The morphology and micro-grain structure analysis, indicates that the diamonds are icosahedral or bi-crystals. Icosahedral diamonds have higher (up to σ_h = 2.3 GPa), and wider distribution ( Δσ_h = 4.47 GPa) of hydrostatic stress built up at the micro-crystal grain boundaries, compared to the other crystals. The number and spectral shape of SiV⁻ colour centres incorporated in the micro-diamonds (MDs) is analysed, and estimated by means of temperature dependent photoluminescence measurements, and Monte Carlo simulations. The Monte Carlo simulations indicates that the number of SiV⁻ colour centres is a few thousand per MD.
