Editorial Reviews

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) makes diamond, and its high- performance properties, available in thin sheets or coatings, which can cover large areas in a variety of unique shapes. This volume traces the origins and emergence of the process and reviews the current scientific and technical status of the new CVD techniques. It provides a survey of the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of diamond-like carbon; a description and extended review of the properties and characterization of diamond; an in-depth look at current and potential applications for synthetic diamond; and a comparative economic assessment of the CVD process and the traditional high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) process.
