Formation of metastable phases of carbon during rapid cooling of graphite
Fedoseev D. V., Varshavskaya I. G., Lavrent'ev A. V., Deryagin B. V.
A graphite-to-diamond transition has been observed experimentally during the rapid cooling of polycrystalline graphite that has been heated by means of an infrared laser. The results are explained both by a "freezing" of the structure and also by stresses that appear in a graphite single crystal upon rapid cooling.
