THE SPIN HAMILTONIAN PARAMETERS CALCULATION OF 14N AND 15N IN NATURAL TYPE I DIAMOND

Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to present the ESR spectra and calculate the spin Hamiltonian parameters of 14 N and 15 N impurities in natural diamond. The ESR spectra of diamond crystal were measured on ESR spectrometer operating at X-band microwave frequency. The results of ESR spectra show that the diamond has a P1 center. This center gives rise to three strong resonance absorption peaks at θ = 90°, φ = 0° due to hyperfine interaction between electron spin and nuclear spin of 14 N . The ESR spectra of 15 N impurity consist of two satellites at the same rotation angle (φ). The effects of isolated substitution nitrogen on carbon atom produced a symmetric distortion from Td to C3V symmetry. According to this symmetry, the resonance magnetic field positions of ESR spectra for the rotation angles of 0°, 90° and 180° are almost overlap. The g-factor values and spin Hamiltonian parameters of 14 N and 15 N are: g = 2.0019, A⊥ = 29.73, A‖ = 40.24 and g = 2.0019, A⊥ = −39.90, A‖ = −57.05, respectively.
