Abstract
We report on new luminescence bands exhibited by natural brown/mauve diamonds. We describe detailed absorption and luminescence measurements in the visible spectral region. The structured bands with ZPL at 2.424 eV, 2.114 eV, 1.819 eV and 1.707 eV, and a broad band with a maximum at 1.8 eV are shown to be the main components of the visible luminescence. Bands with ZPL at 2.114 eV, 1.819 eV and 1.707 eV are shown to correspond to forbidden transitions with lifetimes of the order of msec. Energy absorbed by the 2.424 eV centre is transferred into the 1.819 eV centre.
