The authors develop a macroscopic model for the growth of a diamond crystal. Thus they provide insight into the chemical background of the different processes, e.g., activation, deactivation, etc. This leads to the equation of chemical kinetics which describes the growing of a diamond film as well as the according rates. Based on this modelling, they state their mathematical methods in order to solve the problem via numerical integration and ODE solver software from \texttt{MATLAB}. The paper closes with some interesting examples, where the effect of the parameter choice on the crystal behaviour is analysed. A main result is that ``[t]he proposed model (\(\dots\)) reacts satisfactorily to a reduction in the temperature on the process and changes in the concentration of its gas components (\(\dots\))'' (p.\,70).
