Abstract
A method produces a columnar, quasi-oriented diamond that exhibits the enhanced optical, thermal and mechanical properties of gem diamonds. This method allows diamond growth rates that are faster than those possible with high pressure diamond growth from a single diamond seed. The columnar, quasi-oriented diamond contains lower grain boundary density than chemically vapor deposited diamond.
