The paper presents the results of synthesizing the diamond microparticles (3 to 5 µm) in a spark discharge in hydrogen at the low pressure (100 Torr). The obtained growth rate ~5 µm/s is uniquely high. Our analysis of the nature of particles by using SEM and Raman spectroscopy demonstrates that thes...
