Diamond Foils and Membranes
Free standing diamond membranes can be produced down to a thickness of only 50 nm. They are used as
- ultra thin X-Ray Windows
- radiation detectors for heavy ions
- luminescence screens that remain in the beam during measurement
- stripper foils for the generation of highly ionized particles
- foils for laser acceleration
Such membranes may be free standing or attached to a supporting frame.

| Thickness | Between 50 nm (less upon request) and several 10 µm |
| Material | CVD diamond, optical grade or Nano-crystalline |
