Molecular geometry specific Monte Carlo simulation of the efficacy of diamond crystal formation from diamondoids

Abstract Diamondoids are a class of organic molecules with the carbon skeletons isostructural to nano-diamond, and have been shown to be promising precursors for diamond formation. In this work, the formation of diamond crystals from various diamondoid molecule building blocks was studied using our...
