Recently, Professor Han Lu's team from the School of Chemical Science and Engineering of Tongji University made a major breakthrough in the field of photonic crystals and successfully realized the self-assembly construction of a single diamond (SD) curved titanium dioxide skeleton. This achievement is known as the "Holy Grail" of photonic crystal structures. . Relevant research papers have been published in the internationally authoritative academic journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" (PNAS).

The research team conducted a detailed characterization of the SD skeleton structure through a series of experimental methods. The results of small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray diffraction showed the high degree of order of the sample; observations with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy further confirmed the existence and high degree of order of the SD structure; the electrostatic potential density distribution obtained by three-dimensional reconstruction of electron crystallography This proves the four-connection configuration of the SD structure. In addition, calculation results show that the structure has a complete photonic band gap, providing a theoretical basis for its application in photonic crystals and other fields.

Z-Axis System: The Key to Stable Production of MPCVD Diamonds
Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition is the mainstream method for producing high-quality diamonds in the industry. When the equipment is running, it first pumps the reaction chamber into a vacuum state to strictly ensure the chamber is fully sealed and airtight. Then, the microwave device releases energy, and special mixed reaction gases are fed into the chamber. Under the action of energy, a stable plasma area is formed. These highly active plasmas provide stable heat and reaction conditi

CVD Diamond Clarity: How to Avoid Inclusions That Affect Jewelry Value
After selecting a loose diamond, the setting not only determines the diamond’s security but also directly affects its perceived size. With diamonds of the same weight, choosing the right setting design can effortlessly create the surprise of “small carats making a big impact,” saving on your budget while enhancing the diamond’s quality. Among these, pavé and prong settings are the two most classic and effective ways to make a diamond appear larger. Paired with specialized designs that maximize t
