“…The two points for carbon appear at high temperatures, above 4000 K. Therefore, experimental investigations of the carbon equilibrium conditions required applications of special techniques. The published papers refer to either gas-solid (graphite) equilibrium (Marshall and Norton 1950, Clarke and Fox 1969, Lee and Sanborn 1973, Leider et al 1973, Baker 1982, Lee and Choi 1998, Havstad and Ferencz 2002, Joseph et al 2002, Miller et al 2008 or equilibrium for liquid-graphite-diamond (Fried and Howard 2000, Ghiringhelli et al 2005, Savvatimskiy 2005, Wang et al 2005, Ghiringhelli et al 2008, Yang and Li 2008, Umantsev and Akkerman 2010. The liquid-gas phase boundary was given little attention with the exception of Bundy et al (1996).…”
