Corresponding relationship between characteristic birefringence, strain, and impurities in Zimbabwean mixed-habit diamonds revealed by mapping techniques
<p>Birefringence in diamond is an optical phenomenon related to strain and various defects in crystal lattices. Despite extensive investigations being done to characterize and quantify it, there is still controversy about its origin in diamond lattices. Here we report the relationship between...
