Diamond under extremes

Abstract
En 中文
Diamond is, by virtue of the covalent bonding between atoms and the very strong carbon to carbon bonds, the hardest natural material. It has been a fascinating material since its discovery, first as a decorative gem and more recently, for its numerous industrial uses because of its extreme hardness, elastic modulus, and optical transparency. In recent years, it has become a preferred ablator for laser shock experiments, and this has led to its choice as the capsule material for fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility. This review covers both experimental and computational (including machine learning) advancements in research on diamond subjected extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. The synergy between shock and ramp loading experiments and atomic level simulations is proving to be powerful in advancing our understanding of diamond under extremes.
