Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Examines both mined and synthetic diamonds and diamond films. The text offers coverage on the use of diamond as an engineering material, integrating original research on the science, technology and applications of diamond. It discusses the use of chemical vapour deposition grown diamonds in electronics, cutting tools, wear resistant coatings, thermal management, optics and acoustics, as well as in new products.

Book News Annotation:

Thirty-four contributions discuss diamond (both mined and synthetic) as an engineering material, emphasizing diamond's role in modern technology and its various applications. Topics include the electrical, thermal, mechanical and optical properties; methods for characterization; hot filament, microwave, radio frequency plasma, arc jet plasma, combustion-based, and laser-based CVD growth; cost models that involve operating and marketing expenses; current applications, such as abrasives and wear resistant coatings; and future applications. An indispensable guide for scientists and engineers in the industry as well as materials, chemical, mechanical, electrical and electronics, optical, and semiconductor engineers, physicists, materials and biomedical scientists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
