Delayed luminescence and thermoluminescence in laboratory-grown diamonds

Jiahui Zhao, Ben L. Green, Ben G. Breeze +4

The blue-green phosphorescence/thermoluminescence is most commonly observed in diamonds following excitation at or above the indirect band gap and has been explained by a substitut…

Phosphorescence and donor-acceptor pair recombination in laboratory-grown diamonds

Jiahui Zhao, Ben L. Green, Ben G. Breeze +1

Intense "blue-green" phosphorescence is commonly observed in near colourless lab-grown high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) diamonds following optical excitation at or above the i…

Long Spin Coherence and Relaxation Times in Nanodiamonds Milled from Polycrystalline C Diamond

James E March, Benjamin D Wood, Colin J Stephen +8

The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centre (NV) in diamond has been utilized in a wide variety of sensing applications. The centre's long spin coherence and relaxation time…

Imaging damage in steel using a diamond magnetometer

L. Q. Zhou, R. L. Patel, A. C. Frangeskou +6

We demonstrate a simple, robust and contactless method for non-destructive testing of magnetic materials such as steel. This uses a fiber-coupled magnetic sensor based on nitrogen…

Doubly-charged silicon vacancy center, photochromism, and Si-N complexes in co-doped diamond

B G Breeze, C J Meara, X X Wu +13

We report the first experimental observation of a doubly-charged defect in diamond, SiV2-, in silicon and nitrogen co-doped samples. We measure spectroscopic signatures we attribut…
