Overview

Diamond exists in a variety of forms: natural crystals mined from the earth, man-made crystals now produced in large quantities, sintered to form polycrystalline blocks, and as thin films of diamond grown directly from carbonaceous gases. Covering a range of information from the simplest scientific information on diamond to its engineering applications, this book introduces readers to each topic at a basic level - taking readers through to the most recent developments in each field.
