Successful installation and tests of our new home-made in-liquid microwave plasma reactor

Plasmas in-liquid have recently attracted significant attention as a new route for synthesis of materials. In this method, the plasma is created in bubbles present in the liquid. The plasma of organic vapors contains a high concentration of excited carbon and hydrogen species that are compatible with the synthesis of diamond. The in-liquid microwave plasma is a new and attractive synthesis method of synthetic diamond as demonstrated by pioneering Japanese research groups from Ehime University for instance.
