Popis: Neutron heavy irradiation was performed on synthetic diamonds contain nitrogen atoms in isolated substitutional form (called “type Ib diamond”) and they were annealed under a pressure of 6 GPa. A large number of nitrogen B-aggregate which consists of four substitutional nitrogen atoms symmetrically surrounding a vacancy was formed within 30 m from single nitrogen atoms. Furthermore it is observed that, in these diamonds, single nitrogen atoms coexist with the B-aggregates, which is unexplainable by the simple nitrogen aggregation model.
