Melting temperature of diamond and cubic boron nitride at 15 gigapascals

The melting temperature of diamond has not yet been experimentally measured under static pressure and these data for cubic boron nitride (cBN) are scarce. This lack of information is understandable due to the difficulty of heating optically transparent diamond via absorption of intense laser radiati...
