Meeting Reports: International Workshop on Diamond Single Crystals for 3rd and 4th Generation X-ray Sources

Diamonds attract enormous interest as gemstones. This rather frivolous “application” is based on their optical properties and contributes about 95 percent of the turnover in the diamond industry. Another area of application, which may now be seen as a crude application, is a diamond-tipped tool for the abrasive and cutting industries. These applications exploit the hardness and wear resistance of diamond, and dominate the demand for synthetic diamond production. These applications do not place the most stringent requirements on the quality of diamond. As has become clear at this workshop, a crucial new role for diamond in an ultra-high technology area is emerging. Diamond devices at synchrotrons require near– theoretical values of perfection of the diamond lattice. This material is vital to the continued increase in beam performance as well as the expansion of the suite of measurement techniques of modern synchrotrons. An international workshop on “diamond single crystals for 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources” was held in Grenoble, France, on May 24–25, 2004.
