Diamond materials that open up new realms of performance
Euclid has led the way in lab-grown high-crystallinity high-purity, single crystal HPHT/CVD diamonds with doping capability and customized features that achieve performance breakthroughs for research and industry.

Diamonds and diamond-based applications
In addition to lab-grown diamonds, Euclid develops diamond-based applications for high energy and nuclear physics, defense, space exploration, medicine, and quantum sensing/information. (Shown: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) reactor in Euclid laboratory)
Diamonds are a scientist’s best friend
Diamond has a track record of unsurpassed physical properties, well beyond commonly known ultra-hardness and inextricable connection to love and romance, such as:
- The highest thermal conductivity of any material at room temperature
- Very high breakdown electric field threshold
- Radiation hardness
- Transparency to ultraviolet light
- Biochemical inertness

Plug-&-play solutions for advanced physics research
Euclid’s ongoing contributions to advanced physics research includes our work with Argonne National Lab. Our plug-and-play solution for a superior electron emission source, based on ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD), overcomes the complexity and cost disadvantages of typical cathodes. Our field emission cathode (FEC) performs better even in planar configurations, and has survived under harsh conditions in RF guns without degradation, while delivering a brighter beam.
Customized CVD reactor for manufacturing the highest quality diamonds
The only diamonds that meet Euclid’s own standards
Euclid products ranging from accelerator components to our new compact portable accelerator incorporate diamonds we have custom-developed for our own use. The first CVD diamond in a dielectric accelerating structure was developed by Euclid, delivering a record high accelerating gradient in THz frequency range. Our Ultra-Nano Crystalline Diamond Field Emission (UNCD-FE) cathode for high current applications (10 mA per pulse) is at the heart of our compact portable accelerator.
These same standards are applied to our diamond materials used in next generation electronics (high power switches, high frequency devices, high temperature devices), quantum sensors (biology & condensed matter systems, magnetometry, basic research) and quantum information processing.
