Current Status of Research on Synthesis Mechanism of Artificial Diamonds
The research on the synthesis mechanism of artificial diamonds meets the inherent requirements of developing new quality productive forces and can efficiently guide the preparation of high-quality diamond crystal materials,especially in predicting and exploring synthesis boundary conditions,controlling nucleation and growth processes,and regulating and modifying properties.In order to have a deeper understanding of the diamond synthesis process,this article provided a detailed explanation of relevant synthesis mechanisms of high-temperature and high-pressure method,detonation method,and vapor deposition method used in diamond synthesis.Due to the limitations of current technological conditions,direct real-time observation of the synthesis process is not possible,and there is currently no unified understanding of the synthesis mechanism of artificial diamonds.The above theoretical research mainly relies on the analysis of experimental processes and products before and after synthesis.The authors believed that with the help of molecular dynamics and other methods for simulation,the use of in-situ measurement equipment such as in-situ X-ray for real-time monitoring,and consideration of other characterizations during the synthesis process,it is expected to further reveal the essence of artificial diamond synthesis in the future.
