Abstract
We present insights into the electronic structure and relaxation of N- color centers in diamond which support the contention that Jahn-Teller effects may play a very significant role in the excited state. We also consider several opposing arguments, but show that the unusual relaxation behavior of the N- center can mask common signatures of the Jahn-Teller effect, and that it remains a strong candidate for the dominant interaction determining excited-state splittings.
