Synthetic Diamonds and Identification
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Diamond was discovered to be carbon in 1796, and it took more than 150 years from that time until a method of diamond synthesis was invented. The secret was pursued by many scientists but not unlocked until the 1950s, when diamond was synthesized almost simultaneously by Swedish and American researchers. Pressures of over 55,000 atmospheres and 1400C, plus molten iron to facilitate the change from graphite to diamond, were necessary.

Figure 1. Secondary-electron scanning electron microscope images showing morphologies of (A) natural and (B, D, and E) synthetic diamonds. C: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum for diamond in B. Natural diamonds are separates from felsic gneiss of Kokchetav massif, Kazakhstan. Synthetic diamonds are crystallized from graphite 1 Mg(OH)2 systems and exhibit irregular skeletal morphology similar to ...
متن کاملThe detection of colour-enhanced and synthetic gem diamonds by optical spectroscopy
In this article, the spectroscopic methods used to assess gem-quality diamonds are reviewed. From such measurements it is possible to determine, in the majority of cases, whether the colour of a stone is natural, or has been changed by some form of treatment—either HPHT processing, radiation damage and annealing, or a combination of both methods. Methods used to identify synthetic diamonds are ...
متن کاملDNA nanostructures synthesized in vivo
Like natural diamonds, synthetic diamonds can be produced in a variety of grades, depending on growth conditions. High growth rates can be realized with chemical vapor deposition, but the diamond produced is often not clear because of nitrogen deposits that render the crystals absorptive over the infrared-toultraviolet spectrum, resulting in crystals that appear gray or brown. To reduce absorpt...
متن کاملDiamonds are a chemist's best friend: diamondoid chemistry beyond adamantane.
Marilyn Monroe knew that "diamonds are a girl's best friend" but, in the meantime, many chemists have realized that they are also extremely attractive objects in contemporary chemistry. The chemist's diamonds are usually quite small (herein: nanometer-sized "diamondoids") and as a result of their unique structure are unusual chemical building blocks. Since lower diamondoids (up to triamantane) ...
متن کاملNatural-color Yellow Diamonds
widely encountered of the “fancy color” diamonds (figure 1). From 1998 to the present, GIA has issued grading reports on more than 100,000 yellow diamonds, by far the most common of the fancy-color diamonds submitted to our laboratory. In 2003, for example, 58% of the diamonds submitted for GIA Colored Diamond Grading Reports or Colored Diamond Identification and Origin of Color Reports were in...
