Diamonds from the Mir Pipe (Yakutia): Spectroscopic Features and Annealing Studies
For this study, 21 samples of colorless octahedral diamonds (weighing 5.4–55.0 mg) from the Mir pipe (Yakutia) were investigated with photoluminescence (PL), infrared (IR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Based on the IR data, three groups of diamonds belonging to types IIa...
