Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The paper deals with the study of the intensity of the Bragg reflections from the (111) planes of diamond, and its variation from specimen to specimen. The diamonds were chosen so as to include a variety exhibiting different types and intensity of fluorescence. The study brings out the following facts:

  1. (1)

    In blue-fluorescing diamonds, the intensity of X-ray reflection increases with intensity of fluorescence.

  2. (2)

    Yellow-fluorescent diamonds give greater intensity than the blue ones.

  3. (3)

    Among these, the intensity decreases with increasing intensity of yellow-fluorescence, and is largest for non-fluorescent diamonds. A discussion is given regarding these phenomena, and it is shown that they fit in with Sir C. V. Raman’s new theory of the structure of diamond.
