日本合成世界上最坚硬的金刚石 直径超过一厘米(图)
据英国《每日电讯报》12月20日报道，日本科学家近日成功合成了世界上最坚硬的
金刚石，其直径超过1厘米，与其
合作的公司称力争最快明年投产。
这种圆柱形的金刚石是日本爱媛大学研究人员与住友电器工业公司合作的成果，被
命名为“媛石”，取自“爱媛”。
研究人员入船哲男介绍说，媛石是目前世界上最坚硬的人工金刚石，比普通金刚石
坚硬很多，因此可以应用于诸多工业
活动当中。“嫒石可以帮助人们进一步了解在地球深处高压高温条件下形成的碳元素单
质晶体；同时，作为一种工业用品，
它的寿命也比普通金刚石长好几倍。”
该研究小组曾在2003年首次合成了直径约1毫米的金刚石，而媛石则是在此基础上
发展而来。自从去年3月引进大型高
压合成设备后，研究人员尝试了一系列实验，开始挑战合成更大的金刚石。
金刚石是已知的硬度最高的天然矿物，由于硬度高以及导热性良好，因此广泛用于
工业生产。被开采出来的金刚石中有
大约80%无法加工成钻石，因而被用于工业活动。 | n****o

The Chatham Story
In the late 1920's a young boy followed his dreams in what was to become,
one of the world's preeminent crystal growers. Carroll Chatham took his
avid interest in chemistry and pursued his dream by endeavoring to duplicate
nature's process to create a diamond. Chatham was intrigued by chemistry
and created a lab in his family's garage at the young age of 12. He learned
by trial and error, making fireworks and smoke bombs for his amusement. He
read of failed attempts by Henri Moissan to make diamonds, and replicated
his 1890's experiments.
One attempt resulted in an explosion that rattled his San Francisco
neighborhood, as well as the police. To calm the police and his parents, he
shifted his focus to growing emerald crystals, hoping a crystal formation
would not require immense pressure. Many years passed with nothing to show
for his on and off again attempts to duplicate what happened in the earth's
crust millions of years ago.
In 1931, Chatham entered college at the California Institute of Technology,
leaving his latest efforts in his family's garage still running in his
absence. As fate would have it, Chatham's father turned off the power supply
to his science project. This simple action caused his emerald crystals to
grow in the crucible, and the legacy was born. It took Carroll another 3
years to understand why the emeralds formed! When he did, he never had
another failure.
After emeralds in 1938, rubies, alexandrites, blue sapphires, and orange
sapphires all came to fruition over many decades of research in the hands of
Carroll Chatham. A few years after his passing in 1983, his lifelong dream
of diamond cultivation finally became a reality for his son, Tom.
Today, Chatham is still recognized as the leader of created gemstones. The
company's unbeatable Lifetime Warranty and Certificate of Authenticity
assure reliability and long-term value. Whether it's the latest fashion
trends in our finished jewelry or the brilliance of our loose stones,
Chatham enthusiasts around the world agree: Chatham is Smart. Beautiful.
Real.
