Ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) have kinetic energies of <300 neV and are used for high precision experiments. UCN have to be transported in guides under specular reflection on the walls to such experiments over long distances with low losses.

Diamond is an excellent reflector for UCN due to the high atom density in combination with a large bound coherent scattering length and low loss cross sections. Ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films with a very low surface roughness independent of the film thickness can be grown on various 3D shaped substrates by chemical vapour deposition. Therefore they are promising candidates for UCN reflecting layers.

In this work we present studies of the UCN reflection and storage properties of UNCD thin films grown on planar 6” Si substrates. The influence of the UNCD film morphology and composition on the reflectity and storage properties will be discussed.
