Abstract
The ongoing need for single crystal diamond of high quality in physics research and application, has been amply demonstrated. This need cannot be satisfied by access to natural diamonds. In recent years much progress has been made in the synthesis of diamond at high temperature and high pressure. Several interrogation methods were deployed to ascertain the crystal quality attainable for HPHT diamond. It is shown that the best of such materials can approximate in quantitative terms closely to the theoretical predictions for perfect diamond.
