Raman Spectroscopy of Impact Popigai Astrobleme Diamonds Heat Treated at 5.5 GPa

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Experimental data are presented on the Raman spectra and surface graphitization of impact diamonds of Popigai astrobleme that were heat-treated at 5.5 GPa in a wide temperature range (1500–2250°C). It has been established that light-colored (without inclusions of graphite) impact diamonds are extremely resistant to thermobaric action. Bulk graphitization of diamonds is not recorded up to 2250°C at 5.5 GPa. Dark-colored diamonds (with inclusions of graphite) turned out to be less resistant to high temperatures. Their complete graphitization was achieved at temperatures above 2000°C. Owing to the extreme resistance of impact diamonds of Popigai astrobleme to thermobaric effect, they can be widely used in the manufacture and use of diamond tools.
