In synthetic diamond grown by the high-pressure high-temperature synthesis [5] or chemical vapor deposition, [6] [7] defects with symmetry lower than tetrahedral align to the direction of the growth. Such alignment has also been observed in gallium arsenide [ 8 ] and thus is not unique to diamond.
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a vacuum deposition method used to produce high-quality, and high-performance, solid materials. The process is often used in the semiconductor industry to produce thin films .
Lonsdaleite (named in honour of Kathleen Lonsdale), also called hexagonal diamond in reference to the crystal structure, is an allotrope of carbon with a hexagonal lattice, as opposed to the cubical lattice of conventional diamond.
Lab-grown diamonds of various colors grown by the high-pressure-and-temperature technique. A synthetic diamond or laboratory-grown diamond (LGD), also called a lab-grown diamond, [1] laboratory-created, man-made, artisan-created, artificial, synthetic, or cultured diamond, is a diamond that is produced in a controlled technological process (in contrast to naturally formed diamond, which is ...
This is a list of gemstones, organized by species and types. ... There are a number of organic materials used as gems, including: Amber; Ammolite. Ammonoidea; Bone ...
Substantial conductivity is commonly observed in nominally undoped diamond grown by chemical vapor deposition. This conductivity is associated with hydrogen-related species adsorbed at the surface, and it can be removed by annealing or other surface treatments. [42] [43]
This is a list of well-known dimensionless quantities illustrating their variety of forms and applications. The tables also include pure numbers , dimensionless ratios, or dimensionless physical constants ; these topics are discussed in the article.
The 12 C isotopically pure, (or in practice 15-fold enrichment of isotopic number, 12 over 13 for carbon) diamond gives a 50% higher thermal conductivity than the already high value of 900-2000 W/(m·K) for a normal diamond, which contains the natural isotopic mixture of 98.9% 12 C and 1.1% 13 C.
