摘要
Micron grade boron-doped diamond crystals with octahedral morphology are successfully synthesized in a Fe-Ni- C-B system under high pressure and high temperature （HPHT）. The effects of the additive boron on synthesis conditions, nucleation and growth, crystal morphology of diamond are studied. The synthesized micron grade diamond crystals were characterized by optical microscope （OM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, x-ray diffraction （XRD） and Raman spectroscopy. The research results show that the V-shaped section of synthetic diamond moves downwards to the utmost extent due to 0.3a wt% （a is a constant.） boron added in the synthesis system. The crystal colour is black, and the average crystal size is about 25μm. The crystal faces of synthetic diamond are mainly （111） face. The synthesis of this kind of diamond is few reported, and it will have important and widely applications.
