Self-assembling colloidal particles in the cubic diamond crystal structure could potentially be used to make materials with a photonic bandgap1-3. Such materials are beneficial because they suppress spontaneous emission of light1 and are valued for their applications as optical waveguides, filters and laser resonators4, for improving light-harvesting ...

AbstractFor the first time, lasing at NV−centers in an optically pumped diamond sample is achieved. A nanosecond train of 150-ps 532-nm laser pulses was used to pump the sample. The lasing pulses have central wavelength at 720 nm with a spectrum width of 20 nm, 1-ns duration and total energy around 10 nJ.

Illicit trafficking of diamonds: New frontiers
As it is often said, diamonds are forever. Lives, however, are not. At the hands of rebels, dictators, and terrorists, diamonds have crystallized into a source of financing for conflict and civil wars, which not only caused the deaths of more than two ...

Thermal Damage in Diamonds: the Protective Effect of Titanium Coating [PDF]
Many of the applications of diamonds expose them to high temperatures and atmospheres containing oxygen. Under these circumstances two important phenomena responsible for the thermal damage of diamonds are: oxidation and graphitization.

Selection of collector composition and temperature conditions for diamond foam separation [PDF]
Quantitative and qualitative regularities of a collector low and high molecular weight fractions distribution between solid and liquid phases in foam separation process were determined with the use of extraction-spectrophotometrical technique.

We demonstrate the coupling of single color centers in diamond to plasmonic and dielectric photonic structures to realize novel nanophotonic devices. Nanometer spatial control in the creation of single color centers in diamond is achieved by implantation of nitrogen atoms through high-aspect-ratio channels in a mica mask.
