A riveting look at the science, technology and people involved in overcoming early impracticalities of the fledgling chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis method and its development in today's state of commercial readiness. Provides insights into numerous vapor phase techniques. Surveys the synthesis, structure, properties and applications of diamondlike carbon. Details current and rapidly emerging applications, manufacturing and markets.
The book gives an overview on the current development status of synthetic diamond films and their applications. Its initial part is devoted to discuss the different types of conductive diamond electrodes that have been synthesized, their preparation methods, and their chemical properties and characterization. The electrochemical properties of diamond films in different scientific areas, with special attention in electroanalysis, are further described. Different strategies to modify these electrodes are also discussed as important technologies with ability to change their electrochemical characteristics for a more specific electroanalytical use. The second part of the book deals with practical applications of diamond electrodes to the industry, organic electrosynthesis, electrochemical energy technology, and biotechnology. Special emphasis is made on the properties of these materials for the production of strong oxidizing species allowing the fast mineralization of organics and their use for water disinfection and decontamination. Recent biotechnological development on biosensors, microelectrodes, and nanostructured electrodes, as well as on neurochemistry, is also presented. The book will be written by a large number of internationally recognized experts and comprises 24 chapters describing the characteristics and theoretical fundaments of the different electrochemical uses and applications of synthetic diamond films.

Provides a gemmologist, gemmological (or mineralogical) student, or interested party with an overview of the synthesis of diamonds. This book begins with the history of diamond synthesis, and the theories on which much of the early work was based, before discussing the principles on which the modern processes rely.
Synthetic diamond is diamond produced by using chemical or physical processes. Like naturally occurring diamond it is composed of a three-dimensional carbon crystal. Due to its extreme physical properties, synthetic diamond is used in many industrial applications, such as drill bits and scratch-proof coatings, and has the potential to be used in many new application areas A brand new title from the respected Wiley Materials for Electronic and Optoelectronic Applications series, this title is the most up-to-date resource for diamond specialists. Beginning with an introduction to the properties of diamond, defects, impurities and the growth of CVD diamond with its imminent commercial impact, the remainder of the book comprises six sections: introduction, radiation sensors, active electronic devices, biosensors, MEMs and electrochemistry. Subsequent chapters cover the diverse areas in which diamond applications are having an impact including electronics, sensors and actuators and medicine.
Crystals of high chemical and mechanical perfection are required for research in electronic devices. The purpose of the research reported here was to produce diamonds for use in the fabrication of semiconducting devices. This was one portion of a laboratory-wide program investigating the utilization of diamond as a high temperature semiconductor. Diamond synthesis is explained in terms of crystallization from a super-saturated liquid. The major driving force is thermodynamic. The primary condition for synthesis is a stable diamond-liquid equilibrium in which the liquid is composed of carbon and certain metal solvents. Thermodynamic expressions are developed for describing the pertinent portions of the nickel-, cobalt-, manganese-, and iron-carbon binary systems. Temperature-composition diagrams at high pressures are drawn to show stability relationships and the allowed limits for synthesis. The theoretical model is verified by an extensive ultrah-high pressure-temperature experimental investigation. Theoretical and empirical results are employed in predicting conditions for producing high quality single crystals. (Author).
'Lively, thought-provoking and consistently surprising. Lydia Pyne is the real deal.' Ed Yong, author of New York Times bestseller I Contain Multitudes Does an authentic Andy Warhol painting need to be painted by Andy Warhol? Why do audiences feel outraged when they find out that scenes from their beloved blockbuster documentaries are staged? Can people move past assuming that a diamond grown in a lab is a fake? What happens when a forged painting or manuscript becomes more valuable than its original? This is a book about genuine fakes – the curious and complex objects that provoke these very sorts of questions. Genuine fakes fall into the space between things that are real and things that are not; whether or not we think that those things are authentic is a matter of perspective. Unsurprisingly, the world is full of genuine fakes – full of things that defy simple categorisation. From stories of audacious forgeries to feats of technological innovation, historian Lydia Pyne explores how the authenticity of eight genuine fakes depends on their unique combinations of history, science and culture. The stories of art forgeries, fake fossils, nature documentaries, synthetic flavours, museum exhibits, Maya codices and Palaeolithic replicas show that genuine fakes are both complicated and change over time. Drawing from historical archives, interviews, museum exhibits and science fiction as well as her own research, Pyne brings each genuine fake to life through unexpected and often outrageous stories. Genuine Fakes will make readers think about all the unreal things they encounter in their daily lives, and why they invoke the reactions – surprise, wonder, understanding or annoyance – that they do.
"'Gems & Gemology in Review: Synthetic Diamonds' is the first in a planned series of collected works originally published in Gems & Gemology. Each volume in this series will focus on a particular submect of gemological interest and importance, for which significant new information has been published in GIA's quarterly professional journal."--p. ix.9.
This text examines advances made in understanding the physical properties of diamond and in finding new technological applications. Coverage includes developments in the growth of thin diamond films which should have major implications for a range of industrial applications.
