Physicochemical Interaction Processes in the Carbon (Diamond)–Silicon System

Abstract

Abstract: The chemical processes occurring during the interaction of carbon (diamond) with silicon are experimentally investigated. Thermal analysis of the interaction of diamond with silicon is carried out. This made it possible to determine the mechanism of the synthesis of silicon carbide and subsequent reaction sintering of diamond particles based on Turing’s reaction-diffusion process and the formation of a microstructure consisting of triple periodic surfaces of the minimal energy.
