Electron Spin Resonance of Nickel in Synthetic Diamonds

Nature volume 211, page 517 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

IN addition to the ordinary nitrogen hyperfine lines in diamond1,2, an isotropic line was observed at 77° K in certain poly crystalline samples of synthetic diamond. This line, which does not appear in natural diamond, has a g-value of 2.0310±0.0005 and a width of ∼6 gauss. Samples from Japan, the General Electric Company (U.S.A.) and from the Adamant Research Laboratory, South Africa, were investigated.
