Abstract
The mechanism of the propagation of the epitaxial growth of diamonds at low pressure was investigated in terms of quantum chemistry. The reactions for diamond structure formation proceed simultaneously at many points on the surface of a diamond, and the epitaxial growth continues so long as methyl radicals are supplied. The most important requirement is the maintaining of positive charges on the growing surface.Keywords
