摘　　要：The effect of the catalyst height on the morphology of diamond crystal is investigated by means of temperature gradient growth （TGG） under high pressure and high temperature （HPHT） conditions with using a Ni-based catalyst in this article. The experimental results show that the morphology of diamond changes from an octahedral shape to a cub- octahedral shape as the catalyst height rises. Moreover, the finite element method （FEM） is used to simulate the temperature field of the melted catalyst/solvent. The results show that the temperature at the location of the seed diamond continues to decrease with the increase of catalyst height, which is conducive to changing the morphology of diamond. This work provides a new way to change the diamond crystal morphology.The effect of the catalyst height on the morphology of diamond crystal is investigated by means of temperature gradient growth （TGG） under high pressure and high temperature （HPHT） conditions with using a Ni-based catalyst in this article.
