Abstract

Two-photon-excited luminescence (TEL) spectra have been recorded in the blue (400–500 nm) and near-ultraviolet (300–400 nm) ranges for diamond particles with 4 nm average size, which were obtained by detonation synthesis from explosives. The observed TEL bands are attributed, by comparing the obtained spectra with the impurity luminescence spectra in large diamond crystals, to N2 and N3 defects associated with the presence of nitrogen impurities in diamond. The TEL spectra presented are found to have certain distinguishing features: short-wavelength shift of the maximum and changes in the shape and width of the spectral bands for ultradispersed diamond compared with the spectrum in bulk crystals.
