Element Six spins off new company to develop diamond detectors

Diamond Detectors Ltd is a spin-off company founded by Element Six (E6) to explore the potential of synthetic diamonds for new detectors that can be used in multiple markets. The company is committed to developing custom detector solutions that will initially target four major markets: high-energy physics, nuclear monitoring, radiotherapy dosimetry, and far-ultraviolet detection.

E6 CEO Christian Hultner explains: “The spin-off of Diamond Detectors will help accelerate the commercialization of diamond detectors and equipment. The new Diamond Detectors demonstrate the development of diamonds as a superior engineering material with outstanding performance. And the pace of exploration is progressing rapidly. This is an exciting time: we are entering a new era, as many new diamond products have been made due to breakthroughs in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes in diamond synthesis. It has become a reality. Now, E6 is at the forefront of CVD diamond development, and we will continue to invest in this technology in the future."

Diamond for detector
Diamond Detectors Technical Director Kevin Oliver said: "For a long time, diamond has long been recognized as a semiconductor material that can detect multiple rays from ultraviolet and X-rays to particles. It has the size, quality and quality required for advanced probing applications. The ability to form a uniform diamond material opens up a new market with potential for new detectors in a wide variety of industries. This capability also allows us to solve the problem of selecting the right natural diamond for existing detector applications. Inherent problems."

The products originally developed include applications in high-energy physics research, including the Large Hadron Collider project at the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) and the new Facility for the German Heavy Ion Research Center (GSI). Antiproton and Ion Research (antiproton and ion accelerators) and Diamond Light Source (the largest research facility funded by the UK, will take more than 30 years to build). Industrial applications include a, beta and neutron detection for the nuclear industry. Coming soon is the development of detectors for medical dosimetry, oil well exploration data recording, UV applications such as lithography and cleaning in semiconductor manufacturing. Kevin Oliver said: “Diamond Detectors is currently working closely with many industry partners on the future commercialization of these R&D products.”

Element Six is ​​a global leader in the manufacture of synthetic diamonds for all types of industrial applications. Since the 1980s, Element Six has pioneered the development of CVD diamond technology and has a renowned research center in Ascot dedicated to the research of this technology. In addition to the traditional use of synthetic diamond grinding, CVD diamonds have opened up many new applications. Applications for CVD diamonds include laser exit windows, cutting tools, surgical blades, high-power gyroscope windows, electronic device heat sinks, and active electronics.
