Abstract
The thermoluminescent behaviour of diamond films subjected to UV irradiation was studied by using an UV lamp of 254 nm wavelength. The UV irradiation was achieved by placing the samples 15 cm away from an UV source for different periods. The thermoluminescent signal was integrated from 0 to 350°C at a linear heating rate of 10°C/s in a N2 atmosphere. The corresponding luminescence spectra show an excitation band centered at 450 nm while the emission band is centered around 500 nm at room temperature. The diamond films were synthesized on molybdenum substrates by the combustion flame technique and characterized by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
