Abstract

The photoconductivity of natural brown diamonds was studied between 77 K and room temperature. Centres were revealed, whose presence is hidden in the absorption spectrum by the structureless broad absorption that extends into the visible spectral region in this type of diamond. Apart from ND1, the centres where photoconductivity originates have not been identified in other types of diamond.
