Abstract
Reviews the vibronic properties of point defects (i.e. impurities and radiation-induced defects) in diamond. Cases discussed are: defects where the totally symmetric electron-lattice interaction dominates; cases of dynamic Jahn-Teller distortions; vibronic interactions between nearly degenerate states and a statically deformed defect. Before discussing each of these topics the relevant theory is outlined at an introductory level with the emphasis on features relevant to understanding data. It is shown that a good understanding of the vibronic data is now available in diamond. Compared to defects in silicon, defects in diamond are less prone to static deformations, partly as a result of the high-energy transverse acoustic modes in diamond.
