TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the sltullmelting technique used to produce cubic zirconio and examined the current status of this diamond simulant with regard to q ~ ~ a l i t y, production, ond market.
Abstract: Soon after i t was first marketed in 1976, colorless cubic zirconia became the dominant diamond imitation, with current production of approximately 60 million carats per year. Although cubic zirconia was discovered as a natural mineral in 1937, crystals usable for faceting were first produced ill 1969 and it was not until a practical sltull-melting technique was developed in the USSR in 1972 that commercial production became feasible. This article reviews the sl

TL;DR: The use of cubic zirconia, an inexpensive diamond simulant, as high-pressure/high-temperature transmitting windows in the diamond anvil optical cell has been shown to be promising.
Abstract: The use of cubic zirconia, an inexpensive diamond simulant, as high-pressure/high-temperature transmitting windows in the diamond anvil optical cell has been shown to be promising. Pressures over 20 kbar can be obtained in the cell with cubic zirconia anvils. The optical properties of cubic zirconia open up a region of the mid-IR that has been inaccessible with previous windows at these pressures. An FT-IR study of the high-pressure effects on Fe{sub 2}(CO){sub 6}({mu}-CO){sub 2}({mu}-CH{sub 2}) is presented as proof.

TL;DR: In this article, the FTIR spectra of faceted diamonds and diamond simulants collected by diffuse reflectance, transflectance, and specular reflection techniques were compared and it was shown that the resulting spectra were similar to the well-accepted diffuse reflectances spectra with equal or better spectral qualities.
