Abstract

Diamond crystals from the Istok (25 crystals) and Mayat (49 crystals) placers were studied using the EPR-, IR-, and luminescence methods. The total content of impurity nitrogen in forms of A-, B-, and C (P1)-centers ranges from 50 to 1200 ppm. According to the EPR-spectroscopy, the presence of nitrogen C(P1), N3V nitrogen-titanium OK1, N3, NU1 impurity centers was established in the investigated crystals. Crystals from the Istok placer contain the OK1, N3, NU1 centers, but luminescence attributed to the oxygen-containing centers is absent in the region of 610-670 nm. For the Mayat placer crystals, the reverse situation was observed. The luminescence ascribed to the oxygen-containing centers was detected for 17 crystals, but there were no OK1, N3 and NU1 centers according to the EPR- and luminescence. This result contradicts the arguments of a number of authors about the oxygen nature of these defects. For 5 crystals from the Mayat placer, the nickel impurity was registered. This indicates the presence of ultrabasic paragenesis diamond crystals in this placer.
