摘要： We investigate the temperature fields varying in growth region of a diamond crystal in a sealed cell during the whole process of crystal growth by the temperature gradient method (TGM) at high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). We employ both the finite element method (FEM) and in situ experiments. Simulation results show that the temperature in the center area of the growth cell continues to decrease during the process of large diamond crystal growth. These results are in good agreement with our experimental data, which demonstrates that the finite element model can successfully predict the temperature field variations in the growth cell. The FEM simulation will be useful to grow larger high-quality diamond crystals by TGM. Furthermore, this method will be helpful in designing better cells and improving the growth process of gem-quality diamond crystal.
