Method for synthesizing diamond by using plasma

摘要

A method for synthesizing diamond, which comprises: (a) generating a plasma by electric discharge in a gas selected from the group consisting of a hydrocarbon gas, hydrogen gas, an inert gas and a mixture thereof, (b) decomposing a carbon source by the plasma to form plasma gas containing carbon ions or carbon radicals, (c) effecting adiabatic expansion of the plasma gas to precipitate diamond.
