SUMMARY

The discussion highlights a significant gap in research regarding Pyrolytic Diamond, contrasting it with the abundant literature on Pyrolytic Graphite. Participants noted that while Pyrolytic Graphite exhibits levitation in strong magnetic fields at room temperature, there is speculation that Pyrolytic Diamond may demonstrate even greater diamagnetic properties. Additionally, the lack of experiments utilizing Liquid Nitrogen to explore the supercooled properties of Pyrolytic Graphite was mentioned. The conversation also referenced companies like Norton and GE that are involved in diamond production, emphasizing the industrial applications of diamond technology.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of diamagnetism and its principles
  • Familiarity with Pyrolytic Graphite and its properties
  • Knowledge of diamond formation processes and industrial applications

I have searched the web top to bottem for any articles on Pyrolytic Diamond, I am starting to believe that nobody has thought of doing such a material Experiment.

There are tons of articles on Pyrolytic Graphite but none of Pyrolytic Diamond.

I am aware that Pyrolytic Graphite Levitates on strong Magnetic fields at room temperature, Maybe Pyrolytic Diamond will be stronger in Diamagnetism than Pyrolytic Graphite at room temperature.

Also, I have not found any experiments using Liquid Nitrogen on Pyrolytic Graphite for determining its super cooled properties.:smile:
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Diamond is formed in some very special processes, and I believe that pyrolytic carbon does not form diamond. There are several companies that produce industrial diamond, e.g. Norton http://www.norton-diamond.com/

GE developed a process for high quality diamonds, and apparently sold the technology. http://www.abrasivesnet.com/en/news/littlejohn.html
