Carbon science and technology has developed extensively in the last few decades due to discoveries of various polycrystalline and nanocrystalline diamond film deposition methods, synthesis of nanotubes, fullerenes and carbon fibers, etc. Nanocrystalline diamond films represent a new remarkable material that attracts a lot of attention of the scientific world due to its promising potential in many possible applications, such as tribology [1, 2], field emission [3, 4], electrochemistry [5, 6], protective optical windows [7, 8] as well as its unique ability to incorporate n-type dopants [9] compared to polycrystalline and single crystal diamond.
