Hasselt Diamond Workshop - SBDD

cultuurcentrum Hasselt (ccHa), Hasselt, Belgium

March 10 - 12, 2027

Welcome to the 31^st Hasselt Diamond Workshop! 

The 31^st meeting of the international Hasselt Diamond Workshop continues the tradition of being the annual “early bird” venue for researchers to exchange the latest news on the progress in science and applications of CVD diamond. The meeting began in 1996 as a workshop for discussions about ‘Surface and Bulk Defects in Diamond’ (hence the acronym SBDD), and has since become known as one of the premier international conferences on diamond science and technology.

Through the yearly rotation of the Chair, each edition gets a clear signature programme based on the Chair's field of expertise. This year, the SBDD XXXI programme is focussed on surfaces and chemistry while also covering annually returning topics. This comprises advances in high-quality diamond growth (including computer modelling, doping, diamond composites) and surface and interface engineering. Furthermore, use of these properties in bio-interfaces, sensing applications, energy storage and conversion, magnetic resonance, advanced diamond devices, NV & quantum technology and many more will be discussed. Traditionally, SBDD aims at providing a forum where fundamental as well as application driven viewpoints can be discussed at the highest level.

Chair: Nianjun Yang, Hasselt University, Belgium
