The relationship between infrared absorption and the A defect concentration in diamond

TLDR
In this paper, the nitrogen concentrations of a suite of purely type IaA diamonds have been determined by a destructive method involving combustion of the specimens and measurement, by capacitance manometry, of the released nitrogen.
Abstract
The nitrogen concentrations of a suite of thirteen purely type IaA diamonds have been determined by a destructive method involving combustion of the specimens and measurement, by capacitance manometry, of the released nitrogen. These values have been related to measurements of the infrared absorption strength due to nitrogen in the form of A centres, or nitrogen-pair defects, in the specimens. It is found that an absorption coefficient of 1 cm−1, at 1282 wavenumbers, is produced by 16.1 ± 1 at. p.p.m. of nitrogen in this form. This is in good agreement with the values found by inert-gas fusion and by an indirect method described in the previous paper. Application of a statistical analysis to these three consistent sets of results taken collectively suggests that a reliable working value for the absorption strength at 1282 wavenumbers due to the A defect in diamond would be 1cm−1 per 16.5 ±1 at. p.p.m.

On the existence of positively charged single-substitutional nitrogen in diamond

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between peak absorption at 1332 and concentration of centres has been derived, namely 1 of absorption is produced by ppm centres, but the component is uniquely identified by further peaks at 1046 and 950.

Infrared absorption by the B nitrogen aggregate in diamond

TL;DR: In this paper, two approaches have been adopted in attempting to determine the strength of the one-phonon infrared absorption by the B nitrogen aggregate in diamond, which is complicated because diamonds in which the B aggregate is the only point defect also contain extended defects that may or may not involve nitrogen.

Platelets and the infrared absorption of type Ia diamonds

TL;DR: In this paper, the B9 peak is attributed to carbon-carbon bond vibrations of atoms within the platelet, and it is suggested that other localized mode absorptions seen in type I a spectra may be attributed to vibrations of N-C and N-N-N bonds of atoms in the platelets.

TL;DR: In this article, the nitrogen concentrations of pure IaB diamonds were measured by inert gas fusion analysis, as a function of their infrared absorption strengths, and it was found that an absorption coefficient of 1 cm −1 is produced, at 1282 wavenumbers, by 17.5 at. ppm of nitrogen.
