A simple question, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on this site.. How do I delete my posted threads?

How do I need to see the process from a carbon-containing radical to diamond? The carbon atoms become radicals by the heat of the flame and then they'll crash into the substrate. Does this mean that they'll simply bond with the existing diamond structure?

Which sort of CVD are we doing actually. is it HFCVD? Edit: By the way, isn't it possible to use the cooling block as the substrate material. Or will it overheat?Edit: I've read an article that says that the graphite molecules contain SP2-bonds. These bonds will be hydrogenated by the atomic...

Dear Mike, I have tried to obtain those articles you mentioned, but I really can't find them. I'll contact you on that email you've mentioned in your reply. If it's too much trouble to get them then that's alright, I realize that I've been asking a lot! Anyways. I didn't have a lot of time...

Hey mikegem, Thanks a lot for your replies. It means a lot to me! English is not my native language, so some of the terms you use are not clear to us. Like what do you mean with the diamond films. Do you mean there will form a small layer of diamond on top of the graphite? Or do you use it as...

Haha sorry you're totally right. I got a bit confused! I saw a welding torch as a torch with 'normal gases'. But an acytelene torch is a welding torch too of course. Excuse me for my stupidness.

It is indeed, yet mikegem advised me to use this gas. Other websites advise it too.

In your explanation above, you said you used a welding torch in your friend's basement. Does that mean, that we don't have to use a acytelene torch?

Hey there. We're about to start the project, but we were wondering about the graphite substrate material. How thick and large does this needs to be? 10x10 cm surface and 3 cm thickness or something? I really hope you're still on this forum! Thanks a lot.

You are very right, I am really really, thankful, I hope I made that clear in my replies. I really did not expect a reply which contains this amount of information. I have to say that I read your post wrong. I saw horrific instead of terrific. Like I said before; my English isn't what it...

He's trolling?

Thanks a lot I think i get it now!

Hey, Thanks a lot for your quick reply! It is very useful, and I'm glad that somebody is finally saying that it IS possible. So I'll do some more research today and maybe some more questions will pop-up, but I think you explained everything quite well already. Maybe in the actual process the...

Hey there, First of all I want to apologize for my English, haha. So for a project I came up with the idea of making diamond. It sounds a bit impossible, but I've found some good theories (and proven) experiments. 1 is with pure alcohol, and the other one is about making diamond with a...
