Abstract
Diamond fibres have been deposited by hot-filament chemical vapour depositi on on a Pt. wire of 150 mu m diameter to form a diamond fibre. These diamon d fibres with a Pt core were much less brittle than corresponding W-cored d iamond fibres. This is attributed to a thin graphitic layer between the cor e and the diamond, which allowed interface decohesion and plastic deformati on of the ductile Pt core. The interface microstructure is compared with ot her observations on diamond-Pt interfaces. (C) Crown Copyright 1998/DERA.
