Radiation induced defects in diamond

Abstract
A critical review of radiation damage in diamond is presented, focusing on important specific centres rather than attempting a review of the whole field. The proposed models for these centres are examined and often found wanting. Phenomena observed in ion bombardment of diamond is discussed and found to probably be due to amorphous or graphite surface layers. Throughout a number of suggestions of important experiments are given.
