The cover picture from the article [1] is the electronic band structure calculated by first‐principles density‐functional theory for a metallic (7,7) nanotube adsorbed on the (001)‐(2 × 1):H diamond surface. Occupied and empty levels are shown as thick dark and thin lighter lines, respectively, while the shaded regions indicate the valence and conduction bands of bulk diamond. The dashed horizontal line is the electron chemical potential. Due to the electron transfer from the diamond to the nanotube a hole is created at the top of the diamond valence band. This issue contains papers presented at SBDD XI. After the celebration of the 10th edition of the successful series of meetings in 2005, this year the 11th International Workshop on Surface and Bulk Defects in CVD Diamond Films was hosted in Diepenbeek–Hasselt, Belgium.
