A description of a set of comphrehensive comparisons between experimental NEXAFS
measurements and computed DOS results for many carbon allotropes is given.
1. INTRODUCTION
Nanodiamond has an enormous potential for industrial applications, but nanodiamond
films can be marred by impurities and grain boundaries. The non-destructive character-
ization of these films is complex; a central issue being the elucidation of the nature of
amorphous graphitic regions that surround nanodiamonds, as well as the role hydrogen
