  • Patent number: 5401283
    Abstract: A synthetic diamond or cubic boron nitride particle is characterized by containing two or more stable isotopes of an element present in a ratio which is different to the ratio in which the isotopes exist in nature. The diamond or cubic boron nitride particle thus has a fingerprint. A preferred example of the element is nitrogen.

  • Patent number: 5097133
    Abstract: Nuclear radiation is detected by applying electrical contacts to a synthetic diamond having a nitrogen impurity concentration of 25 to 150 parts per million. An electrical circuit is connected to the contacts and applies a DC bias voltage across the diamond. When the diamond is subjected to nuclear radiation, a change in the current or voltage in the circuit occurs which corresponds to the radiation intensity. The nuclear radiation may be any kind of radiation. The contacts are preferably attached directly to the diamond and are ohmic in nature.

  • Patent number: 4754140
    Abstract: Diamond having a nitrogen content not exceeding 100 ppm and electrons or holes trapped at lattice imperfections within the crystal structure has been found to be a good thermoluminescent material. The diamond is produced by taking a diamond having a nitrogen content not exceeding 100 ppm and subjecting it to nuclear radiation.
