Method for synthesizing solids such as diamond and products produced thereby

摘要

The present invention relates generally to methods for the synthesis of various solids such as diamonds, diamond films, boron nitride and other similar materials. This invention specifically relates to utilizing novel sources of reaction species (e.g., in the case of diamond formation, novel sources of carbon and/or hydrogen and/or seeds) for the manufacture of various materials and the use of such materials for various commercial purposes.
