Blue CVD Synthetic Diamond Coloured by SiV and GR1 Defects
-
摘要: 硅相关缺陷和辐照产生的空穴缺陷均可使CVD实验室生长钻石呈蓝色。近日,对一颗蓝色方形钻石样品进行显微放大观察、发光图像观察以及光谱学测试等,发现该样品为化学气相沉积法(CVD)合成钻石,红外光谱显示,该蓝色CVD合成钻石为Ⅱa型,未检测到与氢缺陷相关的吸收;紫外-可见-近红外吸收光谱显示, 除了在737 nm [SiV]-和741 nm(GR1)处有非常强的吸收外,在830、856 nm和946 nm [SiV]0处观察到弱吸收,GR1产生的一系列吸收使该样品在蓝区透过,最终呈蓝色;激光拉曼光致发光光谱显示存在明显辐照特征,强的503.5 nm(3H)、强的741 nm(GR1)以及515.8、533.6 nm和580 nm等发光缺陷;H3(503.2 nm) 和H2 (986 nm)等缺陷的存在以及596/597 nm双峰的缺失,表明样品在辐照处理前经历过高温处理。Abstract: Silicon-related defects and vacancy defects caused by irradiation can both cause the blue colour of CVD diamond. Recently, a blue square sample submitted to NGTC labs in Beijing, was identified as a CVD laboratory-grown diamond through magnification observation and luminescence observation under DiamondViewTM, and spectroscopic tests.The infrared spectrum indicated that the sample is type Ⅱa, and the absorption related to hydrogen defects is not detected. The UV-Vis-NIR spectrum showed weak absorption at 830, 856 nm and 946 nm assigned to [Si-V]0, and very strong absorption at 737 nm ([Si-V]-)and 741 nm(GR1). A series of absorption generated by GR1 generate a transmission window at the blue area, finally making the sample blue. The photoluminescence spectra revealed obvious characteristics of irradiation, included the defects of strong 503.5 nm(3H), strong 741 nm(GR1), 515.8, 533.6 nm and 580 nm. The defects of H3(503.2 nm) and H2 (986 nm), and the absence of the 596/597 nm indicated that the sample had experienced high-temperature process before irradiation.
