Abstract

A cathodoluminescence (CL) study of free- and bound-exciton recombination in high purity high pressure high temperature (HPHT) synthetic diamond is presented, including temperature dependence measurements of the free-exciton intensity and luminescence decaytime. The results are compared with those from device quality diamond produced using the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process.
