Abstract

Diamond-containing material (DCM) synthesized by detonation was separated into fractions. Raman and infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns of the individual fractions were measured. The particles of this material were characterized by the variable ratio of the diamond (sp³) and non-diamond components. The distribution of sp³-grains in the particles was of complicated character. The fine DCM particles contained an insignificant amount of diamond. The influence of density fluctuations on the DCM formation is discussed.
