The Research on the Surface Topography of Diamond Crystals at High Pressure and High Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The field emission scanning electron microscope is applied in this paper to analyze the surface topography of diamond crystal synthesized at high pressure and high temperature. The research shows that parallel steps, jagged steps, hexagonal hills exist on (111) plane of diamond. The topography has a relation to the growth way of diamond. The (111) planes of diamond crystal mainly grow in layer mode.
