Changes in the defect structure of diamond due to high temperature+ high pressure treatment

Type la and type IIa diamonds have been heated to temperatures in the range 2000-2300 °C under a pressure of about 4.8 GPa. The changes in the defect structure of these diamonds as a result of the heat treatm ent have been examined by optical absorption measurements, integrated X-ray spike measurements and by electron microscopy. Type la diamonds changed colour from colourless to yellow after being heated for 1 min in the temperature range 2250-2300 °C and it has been shown that the yellowing was due to scattering. The scattering centres responsible were elliptically shaped cracks in the cube planes with their longest dimension in a <110> direction

The solid solution ceramics of 0.9BiFeO3-0.1SrTiO3 (BFST) were processed under cool-high pressure (BFST-H1, BFST-H2) and high temperature-high pressure (BFST-H3). And the high pressure synthesis with different temperature was used to prepare the sample BFST-H4 and BFST-H5. X-ray diffraction showed that these ceramics are almost of single phase. Among all the samples, the 3GPa,900°C high pressure synthesized one shows the optimal ferroelectricity at room temperature, with enhanced magnetic properties was observed.
