Abstract: A study is reported of nanodiamonds obtained by a new method–pulsed laser ablation of a specially prepared carbon target. In the mechanism employed to produce a diamond phase, this method is similar to that of detonation synthesis of nanodiamonds. The main structural characteristics of the material have been determined and compared with the corresponding characteristics of detonation nanodiamonds.
