A diamond film is grown on a substrate by providing a non-diamond substrate which has a face-centred cubic (fcc) crystal structure and small crystal lattice mismatch with the lattice of diamond, implanting carbon atoms into the crystal lattice of the substrate and causing the implanted carbon atoms to diffuse out of the substrate and grow epitaxially on the surface of the substrate. The preferred substrate is an fcc metal such as copper, nickel, fcc iron, fcc cobalt or fcc chromium. |
