Here we investigate the effect of size on the surface chemistry, microscopic structure, and Raman scattering of high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) and detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) down to 2-3 nm. The surface and size of NDs are controlled by annealing in air and ultracentrifugation resulting in three ND fractions. Particle size distribution (PSD) of the fractions is analyzed by combining dynamic light scattering (DLS), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as complementary techniques. Based on the obtained PSD we identify size-dependent and synthesis-dependent differences of NDs properties. Interpretation of Raman scattering on NDs is revisited. Comprehensive comparison of detonation and pure monocrystalline HPHT NDs reveals effects of diamond core size and defects, chemical and temperature (in)stability as well as limitations of current phonon confinement models.
