Diamonds are separated into five types: Type IaA, Type IaB, Type Ib, Type IIa, and Type IIb. The impurities measured are at the atomic level within the crystal lattice of carbon atoms and so, unlike inclusions, require an infrared spectrometer to detect. [1] Different diamond types react in different ways to diamond enhancement techniques
Simplified atomic structure of the NV center. The nitrogen-vacancy center (N-V center or NV center) is one of numerous photoluminescent point defects in diamond.Its most explored and useful properties include its spin-dependent photoluminescence (which enables measurement of the electronic spin state using optically detected magnetic resonance), and its relatively long (millisecond) spin ...
The campaign was perhaps best captured by the slogan "a diamond is forever". [118] This slogan is now being used by De Beers Diamond Jewelers, [119] a jewelry firm which is a 50/50% joint venture between the De Beers mining company and LVMH, the luxury goods conglomerate.
The "diamond problem" (sometimes referred to as the "Deadly Diamond of Death" [6]) is an ambiguity that arises when two classes B and C inherit from A, and class D inherits from both B and C. If there is a method in A that B and C have overridden , and D does not override it, then which version of the method does D inherit: that of B, or that of C?
Diamond is extremely strong owing to its crystal structure, known as diamond cubic, in which each carbon atom has four neighbors covalently bonded to it. Bulk cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is nearly as hard as diamond. Diamond reacts with some materials, such as steel, and c-BN wears less when cutting or abrading such material. [4]
The Cullinan Diamond is the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found, [2] ... and at 530.4 carats (106.08 g) it is the largest clear cut diamond in the world.
The prominence of a peak is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak, or from sea level if there is no higher peak. The lowest point on that route is the col. For full definitions and explanations of topographic prominence, key col, and parent, see topographic prominence. In particular, the different definitions ...
Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a theory that proposes a modification of Newton's second law to account for observed properties of galaxies.Its primary motivation is to explain galaxy rotation curves without invoking dark matter, and is one of the most well-known theories of this class.
