Growth of Diamond Seed Crystals by Vapor Deposition
Abstract
Carbon was deposited on virgin, natural diamond powder from methane gas at 1050°C and 0.3 Torr. The deposits were identified as new diamond by chemical analysis, chemical etching, density measurements, x-ray and electron diffraction, microwave absorption, electron spin resonance, and visual observations. The crystalline quality of the new diamond layers has not been established; it cound range from polycrystalline material with a large number of defects to true epitaxial layers.
