Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāCellular sensing using nanodiamond is an emerging field, giving access to monitoring of chemical reactions in biological environment at nanoscale. Currently used nanodiamonds are prepared by irradiation of N-containing milled HPHT synthetic diamond and subsequent annealing. These nanodiamond suffer form irregular sizes and low spin coherence time which makes the detection in cells very challenging. We come with novel method for nanodiamond fabrication by plasma enhanced CVD, which allows to control the crystal shape and size and spin characteristics. We discuss application of optimized nanodiamond for cellular sensing
