Author:Masina, Bathusile N; Forbes, A; Bodkin, R; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:Sep 2010In this poster the authors discussed the ability to heat an industrial diamond sample by means of optical absorption of a CO2 laser beam, and then measure the resulting temperature on the surface of the diamond optically by means of radiometry ...Read more
Author:Masina, Bathusile N; Forbes, Andrew; Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Bodkin, RDate:May 2011At present it is known that diamond tools degrade with time as it is normally used at high temperatures. One of the questions the authors like to answer in this study is whether thermally induced problems in diamond tool arise as a result of ...Read more
Author:Masina, Bathusile N; Forbes, A; Ndwandwe, OM; Hearne, G; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:Mar 2009In this study the authors make use of laser heating of HTHP industrial diamond, as well as the optically measured temperature profile of the diamond surface, to study temperature induced changes to the diamond structure, both chemically and ...Read more
