DIAMOND


Transparency, hardness and solid-state properties:
the unique material diamond fascinates jewelry lovers as well as physicists and engineers alike

carbon in its best form

Diamonds have been valued as precious jewelry for over 2,000 years. While natural diamonds still dominate the jewelry market, man-made diamond is on the merge.


In the past few years, the carbon crystals have also become increasingly important in technical applications.
Because of its unmatched hardness as well as its excellent electrical and thermal properties, diamond is superior to most other materials.
Diamonds have long been used in material processing and laser technology (as an infrared window for CO₂ lasers). Recently, it became the material for quantum metrology where its unique properties outmatches competitors like Si and SiC. In the future, power electronics as well as micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) will be manufactured from man-made diamond.


Thanks to modern plasma-assisted manufacturing processes, which allow the production of single-crystal diamond, the range of applications for diamond has grown considerably.
Diacara can provide you with expert advice on the extensive possibilities of these new technologies.
