Science and Technology of Diamond - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

Nowadays, the diamond is the subject of extensive research in the discipline of physics, geochemistry, geology, geophysics, mining, etc., but much of the new data is widely segregated. An attempt has therefore been made to bring together in one volume current knowledge of various facets of diamond useful to the wide spectrum of readers. Each chapter, written by experts in their particular discipline, is chosen to focus on one of the many facets of this wonder material. An extensive bibliography since 1677, at the end of the book, is an added attraction to the reader. This book is a compilation of seven chapters written by experts from India and abroad. The wealth of current scientific data on various aspects of diamond research with a large number of tables, graphs and diagrams/photos (45) should make this book an important addition to scientific literature of the world.
