Description

19F has been used to probe the structure of the diamond lattice. The measurements were performed via the time differential perturbed angular distribution (TDPAD) technique applied to the 197 keV state (τ = 128 ns, Q = 0.10 b) of 19F. The nuclei were excited and recoil implanted into an oriented diamond using a (p,p'γ) reaction initiated by a pulsed 4 MeV proton beam. Model functions simulating a variety of residence sites for the probe ions in a single crystal were developed for the analysis of the data. The data implies the formation of two molecular types, or sites within the lattice, with possibly a third radiation damage component. (orig.)
