摘要
An undocumented photoluminescence Centre at 1.789 eV has been characterized in diamonds grown by a high-pressure high-temperature technique. It could only be observed in nitrogen-free crystals grown in a Fe-containing chamber. The Centre is unique for diamond due to its room-temperature linewidth, which can be as small as I meV. Polarization, temperature and time-resolved measurements reveal that the corresponding defect has trigonal symmetry, a 3.7 meV splitting in the ground state, vibronic modes of 30 and 48 meV, very weak electron-phonon coupling and a lifetime of 7 ms at room temperature. The centre is attributed to an interstitial Fe related defect.
