Abstract
In the present work, we report on structure formation of ultradispersed diamond through detonation synthesis. In particular, based on the present data, we can state that ultradispersed diamond of detonation (UDD) synthesis is characterized by a rail substructure formation, which is typical for diamonds of dynamic and static synthesis formed from graphite by the martensitic mechanism. The formation of UDD is characterized by a two-stage process: the first stage is the formation of graphite from detonation products, and the second stage is the transformation of graphite into diamond by the martensitic mechanism. A microlamellar substructure in the rails of diamonds formed from the original graphite is due to the presence of basic packing defects that is characteristic for covalent crystals with a wurtzite lattice deformed at high pressures and temperatures typical for lonsdaleite. The presence of lonsdaleite in UDD also indicates its formation in the process of synthesis of diamond from graphite through the martensitic transformation.
