AbstractInternal diffusion-limited aggregation is a growth model based on random walk in ℤd. We study how the shape of the aggregate depends on the law of the underlying walk, focusing on a family of walks in ℤ2 for which the limiting shape is a diamond.

Quadrupolar magnetic excitations in an isotropic spin-1 antiferromagnet
Multipolar magnetic excitations are challenging to measure as most experimental probes are sensitive to dipolar processes. Here, Nag et al. show the existence of dispersing quadrupolar components to the spin excitations in an antiferromagnet ...

Chemically induced transformation of chemical vapour deposition grown bilayer graphene into fluorinated single-layer diamond [PDF]
Notwithstanding the numerous density functional studies on the chemically induced transformation of multilayer graphene into a diamond-like film carried out to date, a comprehensive convincing experimental proof of such a conversion is still lacking.

Low Resistance Polycrystalline Diamond Thin Films Deposited by Hot Filament Chemical Vapour Deposition [PDF]
Polycrystalline diamond thin films with outgrowing diamond (OGD) grains were deposited onto silicon wafers using a hydrocarbon gas (CH4) highly diluted with H2 at low pressure in a hot filament chemical vapour deposition (HFCVD) reactor with a range of ...

Archaean and Proterozoic diamond growth from contrasting styles of large-scale magmatism [PDF]
Precise dating of diamond growth is required to understand the interior workings of the early Earth and the deep carbon cycle. Here we report Sm-Nd isotope data from 26 individual garnet inclusions from 26 harzburgitic diamonds from Venetia, South Africa.

Perfect preferential orientation of nitrogen-vacancy defects in a synthetic diamond sample [PDF]
We show that the orientation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defects in diamond can be efficiently controlled through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth on a (111)-oriented diamond substrate.

Population-based HIV prevalence, stigma and HIV risk among trans women in Nepal
Background Transgender women (trans women) in Nepal are underserved in the HIV response. Data are needed to determine the HIV prevalence disaggregated from other key populations and to identify the particular risks faced by this community.

For materials science, diamond crystals are almost unrivaled for hardness and a range of other properties. Yet, when simply abstracting the carbon bonding structure as a geometric bar-and-joint periodic framework, it is far from rigid. We study the geometric deformations of this type of framework in arbitrary dimension d, with particular regard to the ...
