MICRORAMAN

Cathode surface-average Raman spectra were produced with the Raman microscope. Raman spectra were collected from multiple 52x75pm sections of the cathode surfaces at 0.7pm resolution and averaged into one representative spectrum for each cathode. MicroRaman surface-average spectra of the cathode from the virgin cell, and cathodes removed from cells,...

This publication is a good example of the development of analytical techniques such as high resolution electron microscopy lattice imaging [108] and micrometre-area Raman spectroscopy (microRaman) [109] which permit the researcher to determine that diamond is present in crystallites of submicrometre, perhaps even nanometre size. Early scientists like Moissan [110] and Hannay [111] performed experiments in the pressure and temperature ranges now being cited as feasible for hydrothermal synthesis of diamond [38, 112, 113]. Had they been equipped to use the analytical techniques now available, they may have been proven correct in their claims, but in a particle size regime much finer than they were able to inspect.
