Abstract

An attempt has been made to explain the relation between the morphological characteristics of diamond crystals and the nitrogen concentration in them using a new method of analyzing spectra, which after the spectra decompose makes it possible to calculate nitrogen concentrations in the A-, B1-, C-, B2-defects in order to define the genetic reasons for the diamond crystal formation.
