Abstract: | The lattice parameters of cubic diamond and rhombohedral graphite under the probable direct transformation synthesis conditions have been obtained by means of linear expansion coefficient and elastic constant. Based on the empirical electron theory in solid and molecules, the valence electron structures (VESs) of graphite and diamond, the covalent electron densities (CEDs), and the relative electron density differences (REDDs) of the diamond growth interfaces have been calculated. It has been found that the REEDs of graphite/diamond interfaces were awfully large and the CEDs were discontinuous at the first order approximation. Not any meaningful atomic state of graphite structure, which satisfied the bond length difference formula, existed on the detonation synthetic conditions. Accordingly, it was considered that the direct transformation from graphite to diamond could not come true from the perspective of VES. In addition, the mechanism of synthesis diamond by explosive detonation was discussed based on the VESs of graphite and diamond. |
