    摘要: A dental implant has an implant body made of diamond material, the implant body being provided with a bore hole that has at least one lateral dimension and a depth dimension, the lateral dimension and the depth dimension being mm sized. The bore hole is substantially formed by laser light being directed at the implant body to form said bore hole by softening said diamond material at an intended location of said bore hole. The bore hole is further defined by utilizing at least one metallic drilling tool to remove more of the diamond material after initial formation of the bore hole by said laser light. Preferably, the drilling tool has a cone shaped drilling head or a rectangular drilling head.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a diamond substrate includes: a step of placing a laser condensing unit 190 configured to condense laser light B so as to face an upper surface 10a of a block 10 of single crystal diamond, a step of forming a modified layer 20, which includes a processing mark 21 of graphite and a crack 22b extending along a surface (111) around the processing mark 21, in a partial region of the upper surface 10a of the block 10 along the surface (111) of the single crystal diamond, along the surface (111) of the single crystal diamond at a predetermined depth from the upper surface 10a of the block 10 by radiating the laser light B on the upper surface 10a of the block 10 from the laser condensing unit 190 under predetermined conditions and condensing the laser light B inside the block 10, and moving the laser condensing unit 190 and the block 10 in a relative manner two-dimensionally, and a step of forming a cleavage plane 25 at the predetermined depth of the remaining region of the upper surface 10a of the block 10 by spontaneously propagating cleavage from the modified layer 20.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for growing and doping a strained diamond based on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The method comprises: depositing a gradient buffer layer and a relaxation layer on a substrate layer in sequence by the CVD method; and finally, depositing a CVD strained diamond layer on the relaxation layer and performing doping by the CVD method. According to the method, a lattice constant of the relaxation layer prepared by utilizing the CVD method is greater than a lattice constant of the diamond, so that a diamond generates a stretching strain. In growing and doping processes, the CVD strained diamond is in a stretching strain state. Therefore, a formation energy of a doped element is low, and it is easy to dope the diamond, so that a doping concentration of the diamond is high.

    摘要: One variation of a method includes: ingesting an air sample captured during an air capture period at a target location for collection of a first mixture including carbon dioxide and a first concentration of impurities; conveying the first mixture through a liquefaction unit to generate a second mixture including carbon dioxide and a second concentration of impurities less than the first concentration of impurities; in a methanation reactor, mixing the second mixture with hydrogen to generate a first hydrocarbon mixture comprising a third concentration of impurities comprising nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen; conveying the first hydrocarbon mixture through a separation unit configured to remove impurities from the first hydrocarbon mixture to generate a second hydrocarbon a fourth concentration of impurities less than the third concentration of impurities; and depositing the second hydrocarbon mixture in a diamond reactor containing a set of diamond seeds to generate a first set of diamonds.

    摘要: A method of growing single crystal diamond assisted by polycrystalline diamond growth to enhance dimensions and quality of the single crystal diamond includes thermally mating a diamond seed on a top surface of a substrate holder providing a growth surface for a combination of single crystal diamond and polycrystalline diamond. A predetermined temperature difference between the diamond seed and the substrate holder during processing along with the plasma process conditions causes a single crystal diamond growth rate to be different from a polycrystalline growth rate by a predetermined amount. Process gasses are introduced, and a plasma is formed to grow both single crystal diamond and polycrystalline diamond on the growth surface so that the polycrystalline diamond grown adjacent to the single crystal diamond shields side surfaces of the growing single crystal diamond, thereby improving growth quality across the growing single crystal diamond.

    摘要: A diamond powder comprising diamond particles having an average particle size of no more than 20 μm and a vacancy or impurity-vacancy point defect concentration of at least 1 ppm. At least 70% of the volume of diamond in the powder is formed from a single crystal growth sector. This leads to a substantially uniform concentration of vacancies or impurity-vacancy point defects in the diamond particles because the rate of impurity take-up during growth is heavily dependent on the growth sector, which in turn leads to a more uniform fluorescent response. There is also described a method for making such a powder.
