| 20100028246 | SYNTHESIS OF DIAMOND - In a method of synthesising diamond, a reaction mixture of a carbon source and a solvent/catalyst is pretreated at a high temperature and a high vacuum to remove substantially all of the atmospheric gases and other light volatile atoms. Then, at a reduced temperature, the removed gas is replaced with a desirable process gas. The pre-treated reaction mixture is then subjected to elevated temperature and pressure conditions in the diamond stable region of the carbon phase diagram in the presence of the process gas to produce the diamond. The process gas is selected to enhance the diamond growth rate, reduce solvent/catalyst inclusions, shift the morphology of the synthesised diamond (grown crystals) towards major crystal faces and blocker shape, reduce cracking and strain in the grown crystals, preferably at a desirably high growth rate, and permit the controlled and uniform doping of the diamond crystal with a hetero-atom such as P (phosphorus) or S (sulphur). | 02-04-2010 |
