Abstract
ABSTRACT The phase behavior of carbon at high pressure and the search for carbon structures denser than diamond has been explored for decades showing large discrepancies, with many fundamental questions remaining unresolved. Here we show evidence of melting above the graphite-diamond-liquid (GDL) triple point (∼13 GPa, 4000 K) up to 50 GPa on samples recovered from single flash-heating events using spectroscopic and electron microscopic methods. The results show that for all pressures, diamond melts below the triple point temperature contradicting previous studies, most of which predict a positive slope of the melting curve.
期刊介绍:
High Pressure Research is the leading journal for research in high pressure science and technology. The journal publishes original full-length papers and short research reports of new developments, as well as timely review articles. It provides an important forum for the presentation of experimental and theoretical advances in high pressure science in subjects such as:
condensed matter physics and chemistry
geophysics and planetary physics
synthesis of new materials
chemical kinetics under high pressure
industrial applications
shockwaves in condensed matter
instrumentation and techniques
the application of pressure to food / biomaterials
Theoretical papers of exceptionally high quality are also accepted.
