Tretiakova1 and A. M. Lyukhin2 1St. Petersburg Branch Russian Mineralogical Society. RUSSIA, [email protected] 2Institute of remote ore prognosis, Moscow, RUSSIA, [email protected] Introduction Any collision extraterrestrial body and the Earth had left behind the “signature” on the Earth’s surface. We are examining a lot of signatures of an event caused Kumdy-Kol diamond-bearing deposit formation, best- known as “metamorphic” diamond locality among numerous UHP terrains around the world. We are offering new impact-cosmic-metasomatic genesis of this deposit and diamond origin provoked by impact event followed prograde and retrograde metamorphism with metasomatic alterations of collision area rocks that have been caused of diamond nucleation, growth and preserve. Brief geology of Kumdy-Kol diamond-bearing deposit Kumdy-Kol diamond-bearing deposit located within ring structure ~ 4 km diameter, in the form and size compares with small impact crater (Fig. 1). It is important impact event signature. Figure1: Cosmic image of Kumdy-Kol deposit area [http://map.google.ru/]. Diamond-bearing domain had been formed on the peak of UHP metamorphism provoked by comet impact under oblique angle on the Earth surface. As a result, steep falling system of tectonic dislocations, which breakage and fracture zones filling out of impact and host rock breccia with blastomylonitic and blastocataclastic textures have been created. Diamond-bearing domain has complicated lenticular-bloc structure (1300 x 40-200 m size) and lens out with deep about 300 m.

Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 2 (Canyon Diablo, Part 2)
Canyon Diablo 395 The primary structure is as before. However, the kamacite has been briefly reheated above 600° C and has recrystallized throughout the sample. The new grains are unequilibrated, serrated and have hardnesses of 145-210. The previous Neumann bands are still plainly visible , and so are the old subboundaries because the original precipitates delineate their locations. The schreibersite and cohenite crystals are still monocrystalline, and there are no reaction rims around them. The troilite is micromelted , usually to a somewhat larger extent than is present in I-III. Severe shear zones, 100-200 J1 wide , cross the entire specimens. They are wavy, fan out, coalesce again , and may displace taenite, plessite and minerals several millimeters. The present exterior surfaces of the slugs and wedge-shaped masses have no doubt been produced in a similar fashion by shear-rupture and have later become corroded. Figure 469. Canyon Diablo (Copenhagen no. 18463). Shock The taenite rims and lamellae are dirty-brownish, with annealed stage VI . Typical matte structure, with some co henite crystals to the right. Etched. Scale bar 2 mm. low hardnesses, 160-200, due to annealing. In crossed Nicols the taenite displays an unusual sheen from many small crystals, each 5-10 J1 across. This kind of material is believed to represent shock annealed fragments of the impacting main body. Since the fragments have not had a very long flight through the atmosphere, well developed fusion crusts and heat-affected rim zones are not expected to be present. The energy responsible for bulk reheating of the small masses to about 600° C is believed to have come from the conversion of kinetic to heat energy during the impact and fragmentation.

Polymict ureilites represent near-surface material of the ureilite parent asteroid(s). Electron microprobe analyses of >500 olivine and pyroxene clasts in several polymict ureilites reveal a statistically identical range of compositions to that shown by unbrecciated ureilites, suggesting derivation from a single parent asteroid. Many ureilitic clasts have identical compositions to the anomalously high Mn/Mg olivines and pyroxenes from the Hughes 009 unbrecciated ureilite (here termed the ‘‘Hughes cluster”). Some polymict samples also contain lithic clasts derived from oxidized impactors. The presence of several common distinctive lithologies within polymict ureilites is additional evidence that ureilites were derived from a single parent asteroid. In situ oxygen three isotope analyses were made on individual ureilite minerals and lithic clasts, using a secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) with precision typically better than 0.2–0.4& (2SD) for d18O and d17O.

Asteroid Impacts on Earth Make Structurally Bizarre Diamonds 21 November 2014, by Robert Burnham
Asteroid impacts on Earth make structurally bizarre diamonds 21 November 2014, by Robert Burnham "So-called lonsdaleite is actually the long-familiar cubic form of diamond, but it's full of defects," says Péter Németh. These can occur, he explains, due to shock metamorphism, plastic deformation or unequilibrated crystal growth. The lonsdaleite story began almost 50 years ago. Scientists reported that a large meteorite, called Canyon Diablo after the crater it formed on impact in northern Arizona, contained a new form of diamond with a hexagonal structure. They described it as an impact-related mineral and called it lonsdaleite, after Dame Kathleen Lonsdale, a famous crystallographer. Since then, "lonsdaleite" has been widely used by scientists as an indicator of ancient asteroidal Diamond grains from the Canyon Diablo meteorite. The impacts on Earth, including those linked to mass tick marks are spaced one-fifth of a millimeter (200 extinctions. In addition, it has been thought to have microns) apart. Credit: Arizona State mechanical properties superior to ordinary University/Laurence Garvie diamond, giving it high potential industrial significance. All this focused much interest on the mineral, although pure crystals of it, even tiny ones, have never been found or synthesized. That posed (Phys.org) —Scientists have argued for half a a long-standing puzzle. century about the existence of a form of diamond called lonsdaleite, which is associated with impacts by meteorites and asteroids. A group of scientists based mostly at Arizona State University now show that what has been called lonsdaleite is in fact a structurally disordered form of ordinary diamond.

Abstract Govindaraju, Nirmal
ABSTRACT GOVINDARAJU, NIRMAL. Thermal Conductivity Analysis of Diamond Films. (Under the direction of Prof. Zlatko Sitar (Chair) and Prof. John Prater (Co-chair).) Thermal conductivity is a fundamental material property which governs heat transport in solids. A basic material property like thermal conductivity is influenced by the structure of the material, and hence the method of synthesis and the defects present in the material. With the advent of high speed microelectronics with extremely large device densities, there is an ever increasing need to find solutions for effective heat dissipation, especially in the context of Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology. One solution to this problem would be to use diamond as the buried dielectric. Therefore, for the effective use of diamond films, it is essential that the thermal properties, especially the thermal conductivity, of the material be characterized. A brief background of the structure, properties and synthesis of diamond is presented. This is followed by a review of some of the experimental methods used for measuring the thermal conductivity of diamond. In order to measure the thermal conductivity of CVD diamond, two different measurement approaches are used. The first is the 3ω technique, which uses thermal waves generated by a heater/thermometer to probe the underlying material and extract the thermal conductivity from the measured temperature rise. Measurements on bulk substrates of different materials, including diamond, yield results consistent with values found in literature. However, in the case of diamond thin films, the method proves to be unreliable since there is significant deviation from the assumption of one dimensional heat transport through the solid.

Cco-C8 adopts a sp three- dimensional bonding network that can be viewed as interconnected ð2; 2Þ carbon nanotubes through 4- and 6-member rings and is energetically more favorable than earlier proposed carbon polymorphs (e.g., M carbon, bct-C4, W carbon, and chiral C6) over a wide range of pressures studied (0–100 GPa). The simulated x-ray diffraction pattern, density, and bulk modulus of Cco-C8 are in good accordance with the experimental data on structurally undetermined superhard carbon recovered from cold compression of carbon nanotube bundles. The simulated hardness of Cco-C8 can reach a remarkably high value of 95.1 GPa, such that it is capable of cracking diamond.
