The growth of diamond in a hot-filament reactor has been modeled, and compared with existing experimental data. Studies have been carried out on non-growth systems containing only hydrogen, as well as on systems where the methane concentration at the inlet was varied between 0.4% and 7.2%. The one-dimensional stagnation flow model used here includes detailed gas-phase and surface kinetics. A simple model of filament poisoning has been implemented. The effect of the gas/filament temperature discontinuity on species distributions has also been examined. Gross errors between theory and experiment are obtained when filament poisoning is neglected, but good agreement is found using a simple linear poisoning model. A nonzero temperature discontinuity at the filament produces good overall agreement with experiment.
