Abstract: Diamond growth using CO-H2and CO-O2-H2as input gases was studied based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamic coupling model. The phase diagrams of diamond growth with different content of oxygen in the reaction system were calculated. The diagrams have diamond growth regions, which were different from the diagrams based on classical equilibrium thermodynamics. Also, the diamond growth regions at different system pressures and different contents of oxygen were discussed in this paper. These results can guide the experimental study on diamond growth at low-pressure because the theoretical phase diagrams coordinate very well with the experimental results which had been published.
