Abstract
Boron-doped diamonds were synthesized by the reaction of an amorphous globular carbon powder (80%) with a powder of 1,7-di (oxymethyl)-M-carborane (20%) in a ‘toroid’-type high-pressure chamber at a pressure of 8.0 GPa and temperature of 1700 °C. The structure was refined by the Rietveld method according to the X-ray powder diffraction data. It was shown that the unit cell parameters of these diamonds have two discrete quantities: around 3.570 Å for small concentrations of B (~1–1.5%) and around 3.578 Å for large concentrations of B (~2–3%). The concentration of the vacancies in the diamonds exceeds the concentration of boron atoms by 2–3 fold. This fact can play an important role in the formation of the structure and in determining the physical properties of diamonds.
