Formation on Growth Twins on Mutual Contact of Diamond Crystals

In the course of experimental modeling of diamond crystallization, the phenomenon of crystal twinning in the case of their mutual contact was found. The twinning probability comes up to about 50%, essentially surpassing that on the contact with the walls of the crystallization chamber (2%).

Keywords: diamond, temperature gradient growth method, twin
