Diamond-growing facility in Arkhangelsk to be built by 2024
The plant will produce 10,000 carats of synthetic diamonds a year.
The construction of a diamond-growing facility in Arkhangelsk will begin in 2022, and will be completed in 2024, the Russian Arctic Scientific-Educational Center's press service told TASS. The plant will produce monocrystalline plates with unique sensory properties.
"The new enterprise's construction will begin this year, and is scheduled to be completed in 2024. In addition to the main industrial part, there will be a large space for auxiliary industries. It will be a high-tech enterprise to grow artificial diamonds and to use them to make monocrystalline plates with unique sensory properties," the press service said.
The project is an example of effective interaction between the Center and industrial counterparts, in this case, namely with AGD Diamonds, a diamond mining company. A site has been allocated and specialists have finalized the design of the new production complex of 2,000 square meters, the Center's scientific director Marat Yeseev told TASS. "The plant will produce 10,000 carats of synthetic diamonds a year," he said.
Under the project, the Northern Arctic Federal University (SAFU) has opened a laboratory to study monocrystalline diamond plates with various defects, including the so-called NV-centers. These are structures inside the diamond, and they can be used in various quantum technologies, such as quantum gyroscope, magnetometers, navigation devices, which will be very promising in the future. The production of single-crystal diamond plates with NV-centers requires control, the targeted number of NV-centers in a plate, the control over how many of them have appeared and how many more need to be created.
