The main characteristics of diamond plates synthesized in our company are that they have a high coefficient of transparency and purity.

These plates conduct heat well and have excellent strength characteristics. Crystals in poly-diamond grow in "columns" oriented perpendicular to the surface. Such a structure determines the features of the thermal conductivity.
Among others, diamond plates are used in medical equipment, the space industry, particle accelerators as well as in laser devices.

Diamond optics are characterized by significantly higher thermal conductivity and a higher refractive index than lenses of other materials, and also have outstanding mechanical properties. They exhibit low absorption as well as low birefringence.

Diamond optics have some amazing properties. For example:

• Their refractive index is ~2.4, which is extremely high and allows the production of optics that are thinner for the same optical power.


• Their thermal conductivity is 2000 W/m*K, which is more than 1400 times higher than that of optical glass. Along with its high damage threshold, these properties make diamond optics very interesting for high power optics with high heat dissipation.

Diamond is the hardest known material on earth. Therefore, it is used for specific tasks. One of these is the study of the behaviour of various substances at high pressures. For this, diamond anvils are used.

In atomic force microscopes, a device called a cantilever is used. In fact, this is a very small needle that is driven along the surface of the material being examined.

Its service life directly depends on its mechanical wear. An atomically usable synthetic diamond cantilever is a promising solution to this problem.

The microsurgical ophthalmic scalpel with a diamond blade is intended for several crucial functions such as:

• Cutting and exfoliating soft tissues during surgical operations on the organs of vision.


• Punctures, incisions and exfoliation of eye tissues during surgical interventions.


• Extracapsular cataract extraction with or without IOL implantation, cataract phacoemulsification.


• Removal of foreign body.

Scalpels and knives with a diamond blade are widely used in ophthalmology and have also proven themselves in cosmetology, plastic surgery. With careful operation, one scalpel can do up to 1000 operations.

Diamond is a metastable allotrope of carbon. Carbon is in group IV of the periodic table, in the same place as the well-known semiconductors silicon and germanium. The electronics industry mainly uses synthetic diamonds. Diamond has a wide band gap (5.45 eV), high breakdown field (10 mV/cm) and high thermal conductivity (~20 W/cm K).

Despite many years of efforts to implement electronic devices on diamond, its potential as a material for the formation of active electronic devices has not yet been sufficiently used.

For the manufacture of diamond field-effect transistors, our company grows undoped diamond crystals. The required transistor structure is formed on a diamond substrate by chemical vapor deposition using microwave plasma.

Single crystal diamond cutting tools have always been of particular interest in precision and ultra-precision non-impact machining applications.

Due to their high hardness and ideally sharp cutting edge (curve radius less than 50 nm), these tools are widely used in the manufacture of laser optics parts, jewellery, contact lenses, and are used in the processing of non-ferrous and precious metals, plastics, germanium and silicon crystals, and other ultra-pure materials. , not containing alloys of iron, nickel and solid inclusions.

PPDC cutter is the layer in polycrystalline diamonds (Poly-crystalline Diamond Compact = PDC) sintered on a hard alloy (tungsten carbide) substrate under high pressure and high temperature. The cutters are made in such a way that the PDC layer is firmly fixed to the tungsten carbide substrate so that a one-piece construction is obtained.

Polycrystalline diamond cutters for drilling bits are mainly produced in cylindrical and conical shapes, but our company can also produce exclusive shapes.

PDC drilling with cutters is possible in formations from soft to hard and abrasive. Since the destruction of the rock occurs by the cutting-abrasive method, which is much more efficient, the rate of penetration in soft soils can be more than 3 times higher. This effect is achieved due to the design and materials of the cutting mechanism.

Our PDC cutters have a self-sharpening effect. Carbide-based cutters are coated with a layer of polycrystalline diamond with a thickness of 0.5 to 5 mm. The carbide base wears out faster than polycrystalline diamonds and as a result the diamond blade remains sharp.

Electrochemical industry devices require materials with high electrical conductivity.

Diamond has great potential in this industry. If boron is introduced into the diamond crystal in the required concentrations, the material becomes electrically conductive.

The study of diamond for use in such difficult conditions as electrochemical effects was carried out jointly with European scientists. The results showed that this material has not only high electrical conductivity, but also thermal stability and chemical stability.

The diamond layer grown on a low-defect single-crystal wafer has a low level of dislocations and immunity to aggressive radiation environment. At the same time, it is sensitive to external influence and is able to register it.
Synthetic crystals grown at our factory are created in such a way that the area of the working surface of the plate is maximum, and this guarantees the accuracy of measurements.

Diamond sensors have the ability to register much more signals compared to silicon devices. Moreover, they are more durable. Diamond sensors are already gaining popularity in the market for particle detectors of various energies.

Diamond-based detectors are much more sensitive to UV radiation than to visible light. The high sensitivity and spectral selectivity of such photodetectors is retained when heated to 300°C. The high radiation resistance makes it possible to consider diamond as a promising material for UV and X-ray detectors in space research. Also, diamond serves as a material for highly sensitive and fast high-energy particle detectors.

Radiation detectors are in demand in such large-scale projects as CERN ATLAS, CMS, LHCb and ALICE, as well as in some laboratories in the USA and Japan. The CERN RD-42 project is dedicated to the research and development of diamond radiation and particle detectors.

The study of diamond for use in such difficult conditions as electrochemical effects was carried out jointly with European scientists. The results showed that this material has not only high electrical conductivity, but also thermal stability and chemical stability.

Research in the field of quantum photonics is not complete without the perfect structure of diamond. This material is an efficient information carrier and is also well suited for quantum computing due to NV centres in the crystal structure.

The most promising for this industry are type IIa synthetic diamond crystals with a controlled number of NV centres. Quantum technologies are just beginning to develop, and diamonds used in this area have a great future.
