Study of the possibility of diamond formation at moderate pressures and temperatures

Abstract

Data on the diamond synthesis in experiments with carbon-saturated metal melts at moderate pressures and temperatures are presented. Features of the resulting diamond phase, the types and nature of inclusions are discussed and compared with those for natural microdiamonds found at the volcanic rocks of Kamchatka.
