Abstract
We present evidence of the unique role of metallic liquids of composit ion Me(x)C(y)H(z) (Me=Au, Ag, Cu, etc.) made by reacting mixtures of a metal and carbon in a microwave-stimulated H plasma at pressures near 100 Torr in diamond synthesis. Typical cube-octahedral diamond crysta ls can be seen precipitating from such liquids in the temperature rang e 800-950 degrees C.
