Synthesis and characterization of a single diamond crystal with a high nitrogen concentration

In this paper,we explore diamond synthesis with a series of experiments using an Fe-Ni catalyst and a P3N5 additive in the temperature range of 1250-1550 ℃ and the pressure range of 5.0-6.3 GPa.We also investigate the influence of nitrogen on diamond crystallization.Our results show that the synthesis conditions(temperature and pressure) increase with the amount of P3N5 additive increasing.The nitrogen impurity can significantly influence the diamond morphology.The diamonds stably grow into strip and lamellar shapes in the nitrogen-rich environment.The Fourier-transform infrared spectrum shows that the nitrogen concentration increases rapidly with the content of P3N5 additive increasing.By spectrum analysis,we find that with the increase of the nitrogen concentration,the Ib-type nitrogen atoms can aggregate in the A-centre form.The highest A-centre nitrogen concentration is approximately 840 ppm.     

不同类型宝石级金刚石生长过程中石墨的不同析出形式

在压力5.3 GPa、温度1603 K的FeNiCo(wt; 55∶ 29∶ 16)触媒中沿{111}面合成Ⅰb型及Ⅱa型宝石级金刚石过程中金刚石周围分别伴随有片状及粉末状石墨析出.这两种不同形态的石墨均会对金刚石生长产生不利影响.对这两种石墨进行XRD和SEM测试分析表明:生长Ⅰb型和Ⅱa型金刚石时所析出的石墨分别为再结晶石墨和微晶石墨.本文分析了这两种石墨析出原因的异同点.     

HPHT Synthesis of Different Shape Coarse-Grain Diamond Single Crystals

Synthesis of coarse-grain diamond crystals is studied in a China-type SPD6× 1670T cubic high-pressure apparatus with high exact control system. To synthesize high quality coarse-grain diamond crystals, advanced indirect heat assembly, powder catalyst technology and optimized synthesis craft are used. At last, three kinds of coarse- grain diamond （about 0.85 mm） single crystals with hexahedron, hex-octahedron and octahedron are synthesized successfully under HPHT （about 5.4 GPa, 1300-1450℃）. The growth characters of different shape crystals are discussed. The results and techniques might be useful for the production of coarse-grain diamonds.

Synthesis of large diamond crystals containing high-nitrogen concentration at high pressure and high temperature using Ni-based solvent by temperature gradient method

This paper reprots that with Ni-based catalyst/solvent and with a dopant of NaN 3,large green single crystal diamonds with perfect shape are successfully synthesized by temperature gradient method under high pressure and high temperature in a China-type cubic anvil high-pressure apparatus (SPD-6×1200),and the highest nitrogen concentration reaches approximately 1214-1257 ppm calculated by infrared absorption spectra.The synthesis conditions are about 5.5 GPa and 1240-1300 C.The growth behaviour of diamond with high-nitrogen concentration is investigated in detail.The results show that,with increasing the content of NaN 3 added in synthesis system,the width of synthesis temperature region for growth high-quality diamonds becomes narrower,and the morphology of diamond crystal is changed from cube-octahedral to octahedral at same temperature and pressure,the crystal growth rate is slowed down,nevertheless,the nitrogen concentration doped in synthetic diamond increases.

Different effect of NiMnCo or FeNiCo on the growth of type-Ⅱa large diamonds with Ti/Cu as nitrogen getter

In order to synthesize high-quality type-Ⅱa large diamond, the selection of catalyst is very important, in addition to the nitrogen getter. In this paper, type-IIa large diamonds are grown under high pressure and high temperature(HPHT) by using the temperature gradient method(TGM), with adopting Ti/Cu as the nitrogen getter in Ni_(70)Mn_(25)Co_5(abbreviated as NiMnCo) or Fe_(55)Ni_(29)Co_(16)(abbreviated FeNiCo) catalyst. The values of nitrogen concentration(N_c) in both synthesized high-quality diamonds are less than 1 ppm, when Ti/Cu(1.6 wt%) is added in the FeNiCo or Ti/Cu(1.8 wt%) is added in the NiMnCo. The difference in solubility of nitrogen between both catalysts at HPHT is the basic reason for the different effect of Ti/Cu on eliminating nitrogen. The nitrogen-removal efficiency of Ti/Cu in the NiMnCo catalyst is less than in the FeNiCo catalyst. Additionally, a high-quality type-Ⅱa large diamond size of 5.0 mm is obtained by reducing the growth rate and keeping the nitrogen concentration of the diamond to be less than 1 ppm, when Ti/Cu(1.6 wt%) is added in the FeNiCo catalyst.     

NiMnCo-C-S系中掺硫金刚石单晶的研究

本文在5.5～5.7 GPa,1450～1550℃的条件下由镍锰钴-石墨-硫体系中合成金刚石单晶.合成的金刚石晶体具有完整的{111}和{100}面,内部有少量包裹体.晶体表面有凹坑,凹坑内有许多细小的孔洞,且有连晶出现.X射线荧光光谱检测结果表明,随着反应体系中硫含量的增加,晶体中硫和锰的含量明显增加,而镍和钴的含量却降低.这由于硫与触媒中的锰发生了反应,改变了合成触媒的成分配比,进而改变了触媒的性质.
