Abstract

Samples of detonation nanodiamonds modified during the synthesis by adding doping elements in various ways have been studied by spectroscopic methods (electron paramagnetic resonance, Raman scattering, and X-ray diffraction). For the first time, the presence of P1 centers in detonation nanodiamond crystals has been indirectly demonstrated. The authors discuss the nature and distribution of spins as observed by the electron paramagnetic resonance, the composition of phases and size of the coherent scattering region, and crystal density (calculated by the X-ray method) of the detonation nanodiamond samples at hand.
