摘要
Diamond nanocrystals emit bright fluorescence at 600-800 nm after irradiation by a 3 MeV proton beam (5 × 1015 ions/cm2) and annealing at 800 °C (2 h) in vacuum. The irradiation/annealing process yields high concentrations of nitrogen-vacancy defect centers (∼107 centers/μm3), making possible visualization of the individual 100 nm diamond crystallites using a fluorescence microscope. The fluorescent nanodiamonds (FND) show no sign of photobleaching and can be taken up by mammalian cells with minimal cytotoxicity. The nanomaterial can have far-reaching biological applications.
