[5] [6] The material is a series of interconnected diamond nanorods, with diameters of between 5 and 20 nanometres and lengths of around 1 micrometre each. [citation needed] Nanodiamond aggregates ca. 1 mm in size also form in nature, from graphite upon meteoritic impact, such as that of the Popigai impact structure in Siberia, Russia. [1]
Nanodiamonds, or diamond nanoparticles, are diamonds with a size below 100 nanometers. [2] They can be produced by impact events such as an explosion or meteoritic ...
Gold nanorods under electron microscopy. In nanotechnology, nanorods are one morphology of nanoscale objects. Each of their dimensions range from 1–100 nm. They may be synthesized from metals or semiconducting materials. [1] Standard aspect ratios (length divided by width) are 3-5. Nanorods are produced by direct chemical synthesis.
Diamond is at the top of this scale (hardness 10), as it is one of the hardest naturally occurring materials known. (Some artificial substances, such as aggregated diamond nanorods, are harder.) Since a diamond is unlikely to encounter substances that can scratch it, other than another diamond, diamond gemstones are typically free of scratches.
The hardness of synthetic diamond (70–150 GPa) is very dependent on the relative purity of the crystal itself. The more perfect the crystal structure, the harder the diamond becomes. It has been reported that HPHT single crystals and nanocrystalline diamond aggregates (aggregated diamond nanorods) can be harder than natural diamond. [25]
A carbon nanothread (also called diamond nanothread) is a sp 3-bonded, one-dimensional carbon crystalline nanomaterial. The tetrahedral sp 3-bonding of its carbon is similar to that of diamond. Nanothreads are only a few atoms across, more than 300,000 times thinner than a human hair. They consist of a stiff, strong carbon core surrounded by ...
