ABSTRACT:
A reaction vessel for use in producing large diamond crystals of good quality and yield includes a reaction volume and a reaction mass located in the volume. The reaction mass comprises a plurality of seed particles located in or on a surface in the reaction volume and a carbon source separated from the seed particles by a mass of metallic catalyst/solvent for diamond synthesis. The mass comprises alternating layers of carbon-rich and carbon-lean metallic catalyst/solvent which lie parallel or substantially parallel to the surface. There is also provided a mass of alternating layers of carbon-rich and carbon-lean metallic catalyst/solvent.
