We found that the lattice parameter is smallest for natural diamond and largest for the B-doped diamond. We measured the diffuse scattering for (400) Bragg reflection for the four types of crystals. The scattering intensity of the natural crystals diffuses asymmetrically to form a streak along the [100] direction parallel to the reciprocal lattice vector. These results suggest the existence of the nitrogen atom platelets on (100) plane in the natural diamond. We also found the diffuse streaks along the [00] direction for (400) Bragg reflection for the B-doped crystal, suggesting that boron atoms are likely to form precipitates on the (100) plane.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:7.2(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We have measured low frequency generation-recombination noise (g-r moise) spectra of a heavily boro-doped diamond crystal over the temperature range 20-300 K. The experimental results show that there are two peaks in the g-r noise spectrum at 120 K and 67 K, respectively. The 120 K peak corresponds to experimental evidence for the existence of hard gap having width of 10.4 meV. We interpret the 67 K peak as evidence for Wigner lattice formation whose gap width is 5.8 meV.
