Crystals of high chemical and mechanical perfection are required for research in electronic devices. The purpose of the research reported here was to produce diamonds for use in the fabrication of semiconducting devices. This was one portion of a laboratory-wide program investigating the utilization of diamond as a high temperature semiconductor. Diamond synthesis is explained in terms of crystallization from a super-saturated liquid. The major driving force is thermodynamic. The primary condition for synthesis is a stable diamond-liquid equilibrium in which the liquid is composed of carbon and certain metal solvents. Thermodynamic expressions are developed for describing the pertinent portions of the nickel-, cobalt-, manganese-, and iron-carbon binary systems. Temperature-composition diagrams at high pressures are drawn to show stability relationships and the allowed limits for synthesis. The theoretical model is verified by an extensive ultrah-high pressure-temperature experimental investigation. Theoretical and empirical results are employed in predicting conditions for producing high quality single crystals. (Author).

High-temperature and high-pressure treatment of diamond is becoming an important technology to elaborate diamonds. This is the first book providing a comprehensive review of the properties of HPHT-treated diamonds, based on the analysis of published data and the work of the authors. The book gives a detailed analysis of the physics of transformation of internal structures of diamonds subjected to HPHT treatment and discusses how these transformations can be detected using methods of optical microscopy and spectroscopy. It also gives practical recommendations for the recognition of HPHT-treated diamonds. The book is written in a language and terms which can be understood by a broad audience of physicists, mineralogists and gemologists.

This book is a review of the science and technology of the element carbon and its allotropes: graphite, diamond and the fullerenes. This field has expanded greatly in the last three decades stimulated by many major discoveries such as carbon fibers, low-pressure diamond, and the fullerenes. The need for such a book has been felt for some time. These carbon materials are very different in structure and properties. Some are very old (charcoal), others brand new (the fullerenes). They have different applications and markets and are produced by different segments of the industry.Few studies are available that attempt to review the entire field of carbon as a whole discipline. Moreover these studies were written several decades ago and a generally outdated since the development of the technology is moving very rapidly and scope of applications is constantly expanding and reaching into new fields such as aerospace, automotive, semiconductors, optics, and electronics. In this book the author provides a valuable, up-to-date account of both the newer and traditional forms of carbon, both naturally occurring and man-made. This volume will be a valuable resource for both specialists in, and occasional users of carbon materials.
