Abstract

Samples of diamond crystals produced under various high pressure, high temperature conditions were studied using both micro photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. The 0.3 - 0.6 mm sized samples exhibited various levels of inclusion content, impurity content and strain. Photoluminescence studies revealed the presence of nitrogen in three forms. The 1.945 eV, 2.15 eV and 2.46 eV zero phonon lines and their associated sidebands were detected. The ratios between forms of impurities and their integrated intensities varied between samples. Variations in the distribution of the nitrogen forms were seen between regions of high and low strain birefringence patterns.
