Non-equilibrium phase diagram of stationary states for low-pressure diamond growth

Now, it is well known that stable diamond growth and etching of graphite can berealized simultaneously under low pressures, but it is difficult to explain by classicalthermodynamics.Based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamic coupling theorem. low-pressure diamondgrowth can be explained clearly as follows:The change of Gibbs free energy (G) is the criterion of reaction direction at constant tem-perature and pressure. Therefore,
