Abstract
Samples of graphite have been recovered after exposure to explosive shocks of 300,000-atm estimated intensity. X-ray and electron-diffraction examinations prove the existence of diamond in this material. The mechanism proposed for the formation of diamond under these conditions is simple compression in the c-axis direction of the rhombohedral form of graphite.Entities:
