我国研究团队实现六方金刚石的合成制备——后石墨相梯度转化法的新突破

Synthesis of Hexagonal Diamond Achieved by Chinese Research Team: Novel Breakthrough in Post-Graphitic Phase Gradient Conversion(PGPC)

  • 摘要: 六方金刚石(也称朗斯代尔石)是一种在陨石中发现的天然矿物,因其独特的结构和性能备受关注。我国吉林大学的刘冰冰教授和姚明光教授与中山大学朱升财教授团队合作,创新性地提出“后石墨相梯度转化法(PGPC)”,首次成功合成制备出高纯度(>95%)、毫米级六方金刚石块体,解决了该领域长达半世纪的难题。PGPC法合成的六方金刚石所具有的优异性能使其在超精密加工、量子信息以及深空探测等多个领域具有重要应用潜力。然而,高昂且复杂的设备以及较小的单晶尺寸,使其在工业化的道路上仍然面临不小的挑战。展望未来,如果能够优化压力窗口以及开发CVD外延技术,六方金刚石有望实现大规模工业化生产,从而推动高端制造、量子科技及其他相关领域的发展与进步。

     

    Abstract: Hexagonal Diamond-HD (also known as Lonsdaleite) is a natural mineral found in meteorites that has attracted attention due to its unique structure and properties. Professors Bingbing Liu and Mingguang Yao from Jilin University, and Shengcai Zhu from Sun Yat-sen University, collaborated to innovatively propose the "Post-Graphite Phase Gradient Conversion method (PGPC)". This method enabled the first successful synthesis and preparation of high-purity (>95%) millimeter-sized Hexagonal Diamond-HD bulk, resolving a half-century-long challenge in this field. The Hexagonal Diamond-HD synthesized via the PGPC method exhibits excellent properties, making it highly promising for applications in ultra-precision machining, quantum information, and deep-space exploration. However, the expensive and complex equipment required, coupled with relatively small single-crystal sizes, may pose substantial challenges on the path to industrialization. Looking ahead, if the pressure window can be optimized and CVD epitaxial technology can be developed, the Hexagonal Diamond-HD could be product in large-scale industrially, thereby driving advancements in high-end manufacturing, quantum technology, and other related fields.
