摘要: A diamond cluster includes a core and an overgrown region containing a plurality of diamond crystallites extending outwards from the core, the majority of the crystallites having a cross-sectional area which increases as the distance of the crystallite from the core increases. Generally, at least 80% of the crystallites have a cross-sectional area which increases as the distance of the crystallite from the core increases. Furthermore, a method of producing a plurality of the diamond clusters includes the stops of providing a source of carbon, providing a plurality of growth center particles, each comprising a bonded mass of constituent particles, producing a reaction mass by bringing the carbon source and growth center particles into contact with a solvent/catalyst, subjecting the reaction mass to conditions of elevated temperature and pressure suitable for crystal growth, and recovering a plurality of diamond clusters from the reaction mass.

摘要: Diamond crystals may be grown by providing a source of diamond crystals, providing a plurality of growth centers defined by diamond crystals, mixing the source and growth center diamond crystals with a solvent/catalyst in particulate form to form a reaction mass, subjecting the reaction mass to conditions of elevated temperature and pressure suitable for crystal growth, and recovering the diamond crystals. The necessary supersaturation of carbon is achieved in the solvent/catalyst, at least in part, and preferably predominantly, by a selection of the particle size difference between the source crystal and the growth centers. The mass of diamond crystals produced by this method has a high concentration of twinned diamonds.

摘要: A method of making a bonded, coherent material comprising a mass of crystals, preferably diamond crystals, in a matrix is provided. The steps include providing a source of the crystals of the type to be grown and which are substantially free of macroscopically faceted surfaces, producing a reaction mass by bringing the source crystals into contact with a suitable solvent/catalyst, subjecting the reaction mass to conditions of elevated temperature and pressure suitable for crystal growth in the reaction zone of a high temperature/high pressure apparatus to produce the material and removing the material from the reaction zone, the conditions of crystal growth being chosen such that the source crystals are converted to crystals having developed macroscopic facets of low Miller index. Preferably the conditions of elevated temperature and pressure used are such that the Wulff effect dominates.

摘要: The invention provides a mass of crystals, particularly diamond crystals, having a size of less than 100 microns and in which mass the majority of the crystals are faceted single crystals. The invention further provides a method of producing such a mass of crystals which utilizes crystal growth under elevated temperature and pressure conditions, the supersaturation driving force necessary for crystal growth being dependent, at least in part, on the difference in surface free energy between low Miller index surfaces and high Miller index surfaces of the crystals. Preferably, the method is carried out under conditions where the Wulff effect dominates.
