Self-compression and diamond nucleation in irradiated carbon onions -- A theoretical model
Description
The nucleation of small diamond crystals during irradiation of spherical graphitic particles ('bucky onions') is discussed. A mechanism for irradiation-induced self-compression of such 'onions' is proposed. It is demonstrated that this may yield pressures which are sufficiently high for diamond formation. The theoretical results are in good agreement with experimental findings
