Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An objective of this study is the realization of an innovative synthesis technology of energy carries, such as an ammonia, using emitted electron from diamond with a negative electron affinity. In this study, we have developed a high-quality nitrogen-doped diamond film growth technology as its fundamental technology, and demonstrated a highly efficient electron excitation by visible light irradiation.
