After so many years of ruling the diamond industry, the De Beers have finally found their match brought about an unprecedented scientific advancement in creating diamonds. These synthetic or lab grown diamonds are absolutely magnificent that it is being viewed to take over the monopoly of the De Beers.
What precisely man made diamonds? Man-made diamonds are artificially made diamonds. These diamonds are created through a process called CVD or chemical vapor deposition. In essence, the way this works is by enabling diamonds to grow one at a time for crystals. With the help of extremely high pressures and temperatures, the diamonds are able to attain the kind of quality that natural diamonds possess. In a 12 hour period; the diamonds will be able to grow into one full carat. This is a remarkable breakthrough considering that engagement rings only bear a diamond that\’s less than one carat.
The main reason as to why this kind of progress was achieved was because of the interest that the jewelry industry has shown over the Ersatz\’ variant of the 45 carat Hope diamond. On top of that, scientists were also able to come up with new uses for the diamonds. With the use of the CVD process, scientists will be able to mass-produce artificial diamonds as semiconductors, which have turned out to be more than a hundred percent more efficient than their silicon counterparts.
Due to its promising results, a lot of scientists have shown their interest in the new found industry. Researchers from Apollo Diamond Incorporated in Boston and Russell Hemley from the Geophysical Lab of Carnegie Institution of Washington have by far created the most unblemished and largest lab made diamonds in the world.
In addition to that, the Carbon Power Electronics consortium of Europe, which is led by Element Six, has created an artificial diamond diode. An artificial diamond diode is the first step that must be done in order to come up with semiconductors.
It is expected that within a few short years, diamonds will already be significantly cheaper. On top of that, by 2011, scientists also expect diamonds semiconductors to be used in the market. Indeed, in the last 10 years, artificially made diamonds\’ consistency and clarity have become absolutely flawless that they have surpassed the standards of real diamonds.
Likewise, the jewelry industry will also benefit greatly. The De Beers have become tremendously affected by these lab grown diamonds that they have engraved their logo on their diamonds to distinguish it from the artificial diamonds.
