Abstract

An attempt to unify the growth mechanisms and conditions for diamond formation is developed via the growth probability calculated by a barrier model between the two phases. From the distribution law of the equal growth probability lines plotted in a pressure-temperature (P-T) diagram, five regions of different growth methods and mechanisms were reasonably delineated. Many experimental results can be generalized and explained by our theory, and the unity of diamond growth mechanism was discussed over the wide region of the P-T condition.
