    <div class="sphx-glr-thumbcontainer" tooltip="This example computes the growth rate of a diamond film according to a simplified version of a particular published growth mechanism (see diamond.yaml for details). Only the surface coverage equations are solved here; the gas composition is fixed. (For an example of coupled gas-phase and surface, see catalytic_combustion.py.) Atomic hydrogen plays an important role in diamond CVD, and this example computes the growth rate and surface coverages as a function of [H] at the surface for fixed temperature and [CH3].">
