Abstract
The present research is devoted to the characterization of nitrogen-rich diamonds of different origin from the point of view of creation of defects possessing persistent spectral hole-burning properties at room temperature. A set of natural diamond crystals was subjected to neutron irradiation at different doses in the range of 1017–1019 neutrons/cm2 followed by isochronal annealing at different temperatures. After each step of annealing photoluminescence of all samples in the red spectral region was investigated and optimal conditions for the genesis of different kinds of photochromic defects were found.
