Which risk escalates at bonded diamond interfaces during extreme pressure?

💡 Explanation

Localized stress at junctions causes graphitization because interfacial sp3 bonds convert into weaker sp2 π-bonds during mechanical compression. This graphitization, rather than altering quantum mechanics, therefore weakens rather than strengthened bonding.
