美国Lotus Colors钻石公司橙红色—紫色改色处理钻石的光谱特征

Spectroscopic Characteristic of Orange Red to Purple Colour-Treated Diamond from Lotus Colors, Inc.U.S.A.

  • 摘要: 彩色钻石的大众接受度不断加深,改色实验和理论研究也不断进步,目前已经可以通过优化处理得到各种颜色的钻石。以Lotus Colors公司出借的39颗橙红色—紫色改色钻石作为研究对象,分析其宝石学特征和光谱特征,推测其致色原因和处理方法。通过长、短波紫外荧光、显微红外反射光谱、显微紫外-可见反射光谱、光致发光光谱对这批改色钻石的类型、致色原因、处理工艺等进行探究,结果显示,样品的荧光与天然钻石的荧光具有差异,长波紫外荧光下具白垩色外观,呈现多种颜色组合,红外光谱测试后划分为Ⅰa型和Ⅱa型,具有辐照退火处理后的H1a、H1b、H1c特征峰,紫外-可见光谱和光致发光光谱下可见明显的N-V中心,部分样品紫外-可见光谱还能检测出微弱的H3、H4中心、GR1中心,推测其应该经过多重处理工艺,由N3中心与(N-V)0、(N-V)-中心共同导致非常饱和的橙红色—紫色的外观。

     

    Abstract: Colour diamonds are becoming more and more popular in China. Along with the advance of diamond colour treatment studies, diamonds can now be treated by means of multiple processes and achieve a variety of colours in appearance. In this paper, we study the characteristics of gemmological characteristics and spectral characteristics of 39 purple and orange colour-treated diamonds produced by Lotus Colors, Inc. USA., Through long-wave and short-wave ultraviolet fluorescence, micro-infrared spectroscopy, micro-ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy.The analysis shows that the fluorescence reaction of this batch of samples is different from that of natural diamonds. The long-wave ultraviolet fluorescence has a white-coloured appearance and presents multiple colour combinations.After micro-infrared spectroscopy, it is divided into Ia type and IIa type, and has H1a, H1b, H1c characteristic peaks after irradiation and annealing.The micro-ultraviolet visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy can be seen in the visible N-V center.Some samples can detect weak H3, H4 center and GR1 center in the micro-ultraviolet visible spectroscopy.We guess that these diamonds may have gone through multiple processing technology. The combination of the N3 center with the (N-V)0, (N-V)- resulted in a very saturated violet-orange colour appearance.
