Diamond is an exciting material with many outstanding properties; see, for example Field JE
(ed) 1979 The Properties of Diamond (London: Academic) and Field JE (ed) 1992 The …

The unique properties of diamond are responsible for its pre-eminence as a gemstone, and
give it a glamour and attraction unprecedented for any other mineral. As the first member of …

Recent research has led to a deeper understanding of the nature and consequences of
interactions of materials on an atomic scale. The results have resonated throughout the field …

The use of materials with very attractive friction and wear properties has raised much
attention in research and industrial sectors. A wide range of tribological applications …

Diamond is a promising material for the modern industry. It is widely used in different
applications, such as cutting tools, optical windows, heat dissipation, and semiconductors …

We report here the first discovery of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) indicator minerals and
textures from the Rhodope Metamorphic Province (RMP), northern Greece. In particular, we …

In this paper, a molecular dynamics simulation has been adopted to arrive at a
phenomenological understanding of the wear mechanism of diamond tools against single …

Nanosized and crystalline sp 3-bonded carbon materials were prepared over large surface
areas up to∼ 33× 51 μm 2 from the exposure of few-layer graphene (FLG) to H radicals …

Diamond powder with an average particle size of 200 μm was coated with tungsten and
tungsten carbide coatings of thickness 260 nm. Pulse Plasma Sintering (PPS) was then …

Despite almost forty years of trying, no one has managed to transform diamond into graphite
under pressure, or find out what the pressure limit for diamond might be. If diamond were to …
