Abstract
A very characteristic feature of XL of natural and synthetic diamonds is delayed light emission with time constants of tenths of minutes. This delayed luminescence results from TL and TSL. The contribution of TL in the delayed luminescence of synthetic diamonds is 90% (Vins 1988; Yelisseyev and Sobolev 1979b; Yelisseyev 1977; Vins and Yelisseyev 1989; Yelisseyev et al. 1988). Most natural diamonds are capable of storing light-sums during external excitation, in this way being active in TSL or TL (Bobrevich et al. 1959).
