Abstract

Attempts were made to produce bands of hexagonal diamond (Lonsdaleite) by high-temperature indentation of cubic diamond. (011) wafers of type I diamond were indented over the temperature range 1000–1300°C and the microstructure of the indentation plastic zone investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). No hexagonal diamond was produced; instead, the plastic zone consisted of arrays of dislocations lying on the {001} planes. A possible mechanism for the generation of such dislocations, and reasons for the absence of hexagonal diamond, are discussed.
