Abstract: Large gem diamond crystals were synthesized successfully in FeNi-C-FeS system by temperature gradient method(TGM) at high pressure and high temperature (HPHT), and the effect of FeS on nitrogen concentration of diamond crystals was mainly investigated. It is found that, with FeS content inceasing in the system, the quality of crystals would be suffered a certain degree of damage, especially in the {100} growth region. As for nitrogen concentration in the crystals, when the content of FeS increases form 0.75% to 1.25%, the nitrogen concentration of the {111} growth region almost shows no change, compared to that in the pure FeNi-C system; however, the nitrogen concentration in the {100} growth region would be changed greatly, which is far lower than that of the FeNi-C system. This indicated that, with the introduction of FeS into the growth system, the {100} growth regions of diamond crystals would be easier to be damaged, or, S element is easier to be incorporated into the {100} growth region, so there exists a competition between the sulfur and nitrogen atoms,which makes the probability of nitrogen atoms incorporated into diamond crystals reduced greatly, and leads to the great decrease of the nitrogen contentration of the {100} growth region.
