X-ray observations of the diamond formation process in the C-H

Journal of Physics; Condensed Matter, 14(44), p.11331 - 11335, 2002/11
Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:29.64(Physics, Condensed Matter)In order to clarify the mechanism of diamond formation in the Earth's mantle, we studied the diamond formation in the H
O-fluid by in situ X-ray observation with the simple C-H
O-MgO system. The results suggest that the solubility of MgO component increases greatly as a function of pressure. However, the generation of fluid is not a sufficient condition for diamond formation, because the carbon quantity in fluid is not increased drastically until just before the diamond formation temperature. This is the first report of the kinetics study in fluid using synchrotron radiation.

In situ X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron radiation have been performed upon a mixture of brucite (Mg(OH)
) and graphite as starting material. Brucite decomposes into periclase (MgO) and H
O at 3.6 GPa and 1050
C while no periclase is formed after the decomposition of brucite at 6.2 GPa and 1150
C, indicating that the solubility of the MgO component in H
O greatly increases with increasing pressure. The conversion of graphite to diamond in aqueous fluid has been observed at 7.7 GPa and 1835
C. Time-dependent X-ray diffraction profiles for this transformation have been successfully obtained.

Ga
As:Se (x=0.33,
(cm
)) by using synchrotron radiation. They are tentatively assigned to be a direct lift of an inner-shell electron to the conduction band (CB) followed by a capture of an electron at the DX center to the emptied inner shell
K-edge
and the Auger ionization of one electron of the DX center to the CB followed by a capture of another electron to the emptied inner shell

X-ray diffraction for liquid Rb and liquid Na has been measured under pressure up to 6 GPa using synchrotron radiation. Volume dependences of static structure factor
and pair distribution function
were obtained to the volume range
of 0.52 for liquid Rb and
of 0.73 for liquid Na to investigate the effect of the electronic change on the structure of liquid metals. With increasing pressure, the peaks of
of both liquid Rb and liquid Na shift towards higher
, and the heights of the first peak increase. Theses volume dependences of the structural data are compared with those for other metals under pressure and expanded fluids.
