Abstract
This paper reports new study data on structural features of polycrystalline diamonds (yakutites) from placers of the Anabar diamondiferous region obtained by X-ray and optical spectroscopy. All studied samples are fine-grained (up to 1 μm) polycrystals. The diffractograms of most samples show reflexes related to lonsdaleite defects in the diamond structure. Yakutites are inhomogeneous: diffractograms of different parts of diamond aggregates show different reflections of texture and micrograins with a monocrystalline structure. A “bell” in the single-phonon region of IR spectra indicates defects in the crystal structure of yakutites and a significant structural stress. An aggregated nitrogen line is absent in the photoluminescence spectra of yakutites, likely due to the fact that they were ejected outside the crater after the solid-phase synthesis stage and were relatively rapidly cooled down.
期刊介绍:
Geology of Ore Deposits is a periodical covering the topic of metallic and nonmetallic mineral deposits, their formation conditions, and spatial and temporal distribution. The journal publishes original scientific articles and reviews on a wide range of problems in theoretical and applied geology. The journal focuses on the following problems: deep geological structure and geodynamic environment of ore formation; distribution pattern of metallogenic zones and mineral deposits; geology and formation environment of large and unique metallic and nonmetallic deposits; mineralogy of metallic and nonmetallic deposits; physicochemical and isotopic characteristics and geochemical environment of ore deposition; evolution of ore-forming systems; radiogeology and radioecology, economic problems in exploring, developing, and mining of ore commodities.
