Hasselt Diamond Workshop 2025 - SBDD XXIX

Hasselt, Belgium

March 19 - 21, 2025

Welcome to the 29th Hasselt Diamond Workshop!

The 29th 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 XXIX programme is focussed on quantum aspects of diamond while also covering annually returning topics. This comprises the growth of high-quality diamond material, including, doping, physics of colour centres and their properties, chemistry and physics of diamond surfaces, etc. Furthermore, use of these properties in quantum devices, high-power electronics, biomedical and bio-sensing applications, magnetic resonance, and many more will be discussed. Traditionally, SBDD XXIX is aiming at providing a forum where fundamental as well as application driven viewpoints can be discussed at the highest level.

Chair: Quan Li, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
