Abstract

We show that the most recent values of the defect entropy and the defect enthalpy for the vacancy formation in diamond have a ratio which is comparable to the one predicted by a model suggested three decades ago [P. Varotsos and K. Alexopoulos, Phys. Rev. B 15, 4111 (1977); 18, 2683 (1978)]. This model, which interconnects the formation Gibbs energy with the bulk elastic and expansivity data, has been also recently found of value in high $T_{c}$ superconductors as well as in glass-forming liquids.
