Abstract

Diamond can be grown as an equilibrium phase at high pressures or grown metastably at subatmospheric pressures. Equilibrium growth at high pressures is carried out by both static and dynamic processes. The static process is an indirect process where metastable graphite is dissolved into a liquid metal solvent from which diamond precipitates out as the stable phase in a high pressure press. The dynamic high-pressure process directly converts graphite to diamond by going to very high pressures and temperatures for a short period of time by using explosives.
