Reply to Comment on 'Growth of Large Diamond Crystals by Reduction of Magnesium Carbonate with Metallic Sodium

摘要

First,thanks to Dr.Hermann Sachdev who has commented on our work.The comments were thoughtful.We should have cited reference [1] paper in our communication in reference [2] because the latter paper reported progress related to the former,we apologize for having not done so.We also apologize for a mistake made during handing the X-ray diffraction data for reference [2].The original XRD paper was recorded on chart paper,which was then scanned into the computer as a BMP format file and subsequently digitized.In this process,our technician responsible for treating the X-ray data made an error and used,after polishing,a similar BMP format file obtained from a another sample synthesized in our lab.
