Description

Method for synthesizing gem-grade colorless diamond by seed crystal method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of diamond synthesis production, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing gem-grade colorless diamond by a seed crystal method.
Background
In recent years, the synthetic technology of gem-grade cultivated diamonds at home and abroad is rapidly developed, and the cultivated diamond ornaments are more and more accepted and favored by consumers; many enterprises in China have the technical strength of industrial production of colorless diamonds, and the colorless diamonds have larger and larger particle sizes and excellent color; the synthesis of gem-grade colorless diamond has strict technical condition requirements, and mainly relates to how to control the crystal form, the growth direction and the growth speed of the crystal, inhibit the generation of impurity inclusions and the like; the seed crystal is used as a key element for synthesizing the colorless diamond by a temperature gradient method, and the growth trend of the colorless diamond is directly influenced under certain conditions due to different crystal forms, sizes and distribution modes of the seed crystal.
According to the theory and production experience, in the process of synthesizing the gem-grade colorless diamond by the temperature gradient method, because the mutual dissolution and the co-permeation of the carbon source and the graphite in the early stage and the conversion of the graphite into the diamond require higher energy, the power setting in the early stage is often higher, and in the growth process of the colorless diamond, the carbon source in the early stage is more sufficient, the axial temperature gradient and the radial temperature gradient of the crystal are relatively larger, and the growth speed of the crystal is very high at the moment; however, as the crystal grows, the carbon source is gradually reduced, and the temperature gradient of the growth surface in the axial direction and the radial direction of the crystal is gradually reduced compared with the temperature gradient in the early stage, at which the growth rate begins to slow. The growth speed is closely related to the crystal synthesis process, and when the growth speed is too high, the crystal is easy to yellow, deficient and incomplete in nitrogen removal, and has more internal defects, impurities and inclusions; when the growth speed is too slow, the crystal granularity is fine, the synthesis process time is too long, and the production cost is high. In the prior art, when gem-grade colorless diamonds with the grain size of 3-5 mm are synthesized, the changes of power and pressure are shown in figure 3, the pressure is uniformly increased to 65MPa within 200s, then kept at 2500s, and then uniformly increased to 95MPa within 100 s; heating power is increased to 3.0KW at a constant speed within 400s, then is kept at 2500s, and is increased to 5.5KW at a constant speed within 700 s; after the power and the pressure are increased to the maximum value within 90 ten thousand seconds of synthesis time, the synthesis power is kept to be W =5.5KW, and the gauge pressure is kept to be P =95MPa, so that the chroma and the purity of the colorless diamond synthesized by the synthesis method are not ideal.

Further, the specific process that the heating power and the pressure are gradually reduced and then gradually increased when the temperature and the pressure are kept and maintained to 1 ten thousand seconds is as follows: setting parameter time nodes on a computer from 1 ten thousand seconds as T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9 and T10 respectively, wherein T1=1 ten thousand seconds, T2=10 ten thousand seconds, T3=20 ten thousand seconds, T4=30 ten thousand seconds, T5=40 ten thousand seconds, T6=50 ten thousand seconds, T7=60 ten thousand seconds, T8=70 ten thousand seconds, T9=80 ten thousand seconds, T10=90 ten thousand seconds, and an equal difference sequence Wn = W1+ n d, d =0.01, -0.02, -0.03, -0.04, -0.05 corresponding to five time nodes from T1 to T5; pn = P1+ n × d, d = -0.1, -0.2, -0.3, -0.4, -0.5; corresponding to five time nodes from T6 to T10, the power pressure amplitude of rise conforms to an arithmetic progression Wn = W1+ n × d, d =0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05; pn = P1+ n d, d =0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, W1=5~6KW, P1=90~100MPa, n =1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Furthermore, the thickness of the catalyst piece is 10-20mm, the thickness of the carbon source layer is 4-8mm, and the diameters of the catalyst piece and the carbon source layer are 30-40 mm.
Further, the seed crystal is cut into slices with the thickness not greater than 2mm by adopting diamond with the particle size of 2-10 mm. In the conventional seed crystal method for synthesizing gem grade diamond, high-quality industrial diamond is generally adopted, hexahedral and octahedral poly-shaped crystal forms are taken as main materials, the whole gem grade diamond is inlaid in a crystal bed according to a specific size, and simultaneously, seed crystals with a certain particle size are inlaid on the crystal bed according to different production requirements in a certain amount and distribution. And the (111) or (100) surface is upward as a growth surface for the epitaxial growth of the crystal; the particle size of the commonly used seed crystal is 10/12, 12/14, 14/16, 16/18, 18/20/, 20/25, 25/30, 30/35, 35/40 and 40/45.
Further, the arrangement mode of the seed crystal is specifically as follows: the method comprises the steps of inlaying a large circular seed crystal with the diameter of 2mm at the center of a crystal bed, evenly inlaying four small circular seed crystals with the diameter of 1mm on the crystal bed around the large circular seed crystal, and enabling the distance between the small circular seed crystal and the large circular seed crystal to be 5 mm.
The inner cavity of the synthetic diamond is generally a cylinder, the crystal bed for embedding the seed crystal is a round surface, the seed crystal can be arranged on the round surface in various different ways, the seed crystal can be arranged irregularly or randomly, but the synthetic effect is unstable, the yield is low, the growth process is not easy to control, and the benefit is very low. The seed crystal points are arranged in a geometrically symmetric cross-synergetic mode, the seed crystal points are firstly symmetrical in inner circles, are centrosymmetric and are point-to-point called as basic basis, and meanwhile, the production distribution phenomenon of crops and garden flowers is referred to, so that the synthetic cavity and raw materials can be fully utilized, the growth promotion and growth inhibition are coordinated and unified, the growth speed is convenient to control, and the corresponding growth rule is better met.
The gem-grade colorless diamond is synthesized into a special internal structure, the seed crystal only provides a growth surface for crystal epitaxial growth, and the whole grain seed crystal is arranged in the seed crystal, so that the waste is avoided; however, in the conventional synthesis method, the seed crystal has fine granularity, large processing difficulty and less waste, and the whole hexahedral and octahedral poly-shaped diamond is inlaid in the seed crystal. Thus, there is a problem that the thickness of the seed bed in the synthesized structure is generally fixed and has special requirements, and the maximum grain size of the seed crystal which can be inlaid is generally about 10/12 grain size, so that the research and production of the seed crystal with a larger growth surface in the production practice are limited to a certain extent. In order to meet the growth requirement, an epitaxial growth surface with a larger size (a larger crystal seed method) is used in the synthesis of colorless diamond, high-quality diamond with the grain size of 2-10mm is cut into slices with different thicknesses of 0-2mm layer by a laser cutting process, the thickness of the slice meets the requirement of crystal bed inlaying, and the slice can be secondarily processed into slices with different shapes according to the requirement.
