摘要
Nitrogen is successfully doped in diamond by adding sodium azide （NaN3 ） as the source of nitrogen to the graphite and iron powders. The diamond crystals with high nitrogen concentration, 1000-2200ppm, which contain the same concentrations of nitrogen with natural diamond, have been synthesized by using the system of iron-carbon- additive NAN3. The nitrogen concentrations in diamond increase with the increasing content of NAN3. When the content of NaN3 is increased to 0.7-1.3 wt. %, the nitrogen concentration in the diamond almost remains in a nitrogen concentration range from 1250ppm to 2200ppm, which is the highest value and several times higher than that in the diamond synthesized by a conventional method without additive NaN3 under high pressure and high temperature （HPHT） conditions.
