Internal stress mechanism of carbon transmission under high temperature and high pressure

Abstract

The problem was found that the nucleation and growth of diamond are different on each side of flaky catalyst in the cubic high pressure diamond synthesis system. Some theories explainning this difference were introduced in the paper. The synthesis cavity and the forces on flaky ctalyst were analysed. The results show that the stress makes the transmission velocity of carbon different on each side of catalyst slice, which causes the difference of nucleation density of diamond between two sides of the slice.
