Abstract

A model describing the structure of diamond nanoclusters produced by explosive shocks is proposed. The model is based on experimental data obtained from x-ray diffraction and small-angle x-ray scattering. This model considers the diamond nanocluster as a crystalline diamond core coated by a carbon shell having a fractal structure. The shell structure depends both on the cooling kinetics of the detonation products and on the method used to extract from them the diamond fraction.
