Phys. Rev. B 70, 205211 (2004) [5 pages]Ni-vacancy defect in diamond detected by electron spin resonanceReceived 28 April 2004; revised 19 July 2004; published 19 November 2004 Trigonal S=1 NOL1/NIRIM5 center has been characterized by electron spin resonance (ESR) in nickel and boron doped diamond grown by the high-pressure high-temperature technique. Hyperfine interaction structure has been detected and attributed to six equivalent carbon sites and one Ni site. Analysis of the ESR parameters strongly suggests assignment of the NOL1/NIRIM5 center to interstitial Ni2+ ion (3d8 configuration) situated in the center of a diamond divacancy. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
