Abstract
Raman scattering is studied in natural diamond crystals with radiation-induced defects produced by implantation of high energy Xe and Kr ions (ion kinetic energy >1 MeV/amu) and by irradiation with fast reactor neutrons (kinetic energy >100 keV). Confocal measurements of the Raman spectra along the surface of an oblique section of the ionimplanted diamonds are used to study the radiation damage profile. The evolution of the Raman scattering spectra with depth of the damaged layer in the ion-implanted diamonds, and as a function of annealing temperature of the neutron-irradiated diamond, is determined by spatial localization of phonons in the radiation disordered crystal lattice and by the formation of associations of intrinsic defects in the lattice.
