Abstract
OF the two phases, diamond and graphite, diamond is the denser, and has also the less internal energy. It follows that, if carbon can be crystallised at comparatively low temperatures, the minimum pressure sufficing to determine the diamond form will be lower than that employed in M. Moissan's experiments.
