Effect of Diamond Polishing and Thermal Treatment on Carbon Paramagnetic Centers’ Nature and Structure

Diamonds contain carbon paramagnetic centers (stable carbon radicals) in small concentrations (at the level of ~1 × 10<sup>12</sup> spins/mg) that can help in elucidating the structure of the nitrogen atoms’ contaminants in the diamond crystal. All diamonds that undergo polishing are exp...
