Synchrotron studies (and applications) of diamondSetshedi, Rhyme Kagiso 02 February 2012 (has links)
MSc., Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, 2011 / This research focuses on the study of the impurities in low-strain high pressure,
high temperature (HPHT) synthetic diamonds. The dominant characterisation
methods are synchrotron-based x-ray techniques, supported by
other conventional laboratory techniques. The research identifies the role
of defects in generating long-range strain. A software programme based on
the dynamical theory of x-ray diffraction has specially been developed to
quantify the local changes in the lattice parameter and the local lattice inclinations
(combined as the “effective misorientation” or local Bragg angle
change). In recent measurements, the strain sensitivity of the (quantitative)
x-ray plane-wave monochromatic topography was increased to the level of
10−8. This level of sensitivity was achieved using the double crystal technique
with successively higher order reflections and correspondingly, higher
energy x-rays. This is a level which has never previously been accessed for
diamond.
Preliminary results for this research have already contributed immensely to
driving a technological development of a new range of diamond-based x-ray
optical elements for modern third and fourth-generation x-ray sources like
synchrotron storage rings and Free Electron Lasers (FEL), where industry
(industrial diamond growers) and end-users (the synchrotrons of the world)
participate collaboratively in a research and development programme.

Petrography, mineralogy, geochemistry and geochronology of the diamondiferous Drybones Bay kimberlite Pipe and Mud lake kimberlite dyke, Northwest TerritoriesSheng, Ankar Rockwell 26 September 2016 (has links)
The Drybones Bay and Mud Lake kimberlites are Ordovician kimberlites located in the Slave Geological Province. The Drybones Bay pipe formed by multiple discrete eruptions, producing several texturally distinct phases of kimberlite, including hypabyssal kimberlite (HK) autoliths, tuffisitic kimberlite (TK), pyroclastic kimberlite (PK) and resedimented volcaniclastic kimberlite (RVK). The recognition of TK suggests this pipe represents a Class 1 kimberlite. The nearby Mud Lake kimberlite is a dolomite-rich HK dyke characterized by macrocrystic and segregation textures. Although the kimberlites are proximal, U-Pb zircon dates indicate they were not emplaced contemporaneously, and geochemical discrepancies that cannot be explained by known magma evolution processes indicate that these rocks formed from distinct parental magmas. Mineralogical and geochemical data is used to evaluate crystallization conditions and diamond potential. New geochemical modeling of compatible trace elements reveals convincing evidence of magma evolution by olivine fractionation, adding substantially to the published research on kimberlite geochemistry. / October 2016

Development of X-ray diamond simulantsDanoczi, Elizabeth Jane 07 April 2008 (has links)
X-ray machines that are designed to recover diamonds from an ore body, are used
extensively on diamond mines. These machines are extremely expensive and at present,
there are no reliable methods, outside the De Beers Group, of determining if the
equipment is performing correctly. The object of this research was to manufacture X-ray
translucent X-ray diamond simulants with known fluorescent signals ranging from bright
to dim. These X-ray diamond simulants will then be used to evaluate the recovery
efficiency of all X-ray machines on any diamond mine.
The research successfully accomplished the following:
1) The design and building of optical equipment needed to measure the
fluorescent signals produced by diamonds and the diamond simulants.
2) Setting up of equipment needed to manufacture the diamond simulants.
3) Determining the ingredients needed to make a diamond simulant and
4) Determining the recipe for the diamond simulants with different fluorescent
signals, for diamonds of different sizes.

Optical properties of synthetic diamond of different synthesis origin.Fish, Michael Lester. January 1995 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science / The aim of this work was to evaluate the measurement of the optical properties as a means of
obtaining information on the growth history of synthetic diamond. A suite of sample of
known synthesis origin representing the different types of commercially produced synthetic
diamond was analysed hy photoluminescence.
The photoh.{fnmescence intensity was normalising by using the area of tbe Raman peak. This
allowed a semi-quantitative comparison of the defect concentration.
Three photoluminescent centres were identified, H3, 575 run and 1.945 eV (with zero-phonon
lines at 2.463 eV, 2.156 eV, and 1.945 eV respectively). Differences between the intensities of
the luminescence due to these centres were observed as a function of the type ot diamond The
H3 amd the 1.945 eV intensity was found to increase with the proportion of cubic growth
sector, In addition the 1.945 eV intensity was found to increase with heat treatment and was
higher in (100) than in (111) growth sectors.
As all three defects detected involve vacancies and nitrogen impurity, an analysis was done to
quantify any correlation between the luminescent intensities from the different defects in the
same SDA powder sample. The 1.945 eV and 575 run intensities were observed to be
correlated .. An additional correlation 'was found between the 575 lim and the H3 intensities in
the case of finer particle size samples. The luminescence intensity for all three defect types was
observed to be a function of the particle size of the sample.
The shapes and widths of zero-phonon lines were related to the types and concentration of
lattice defects present in a crystal according to line broadening theory.
An attempt was made to explain the results in the context of the known synthesis origin and
growth conditions. / AC 2018

Detection of diamond in ore using pulsed laser Raman spectroscopyLamprecht, GH, Human, HGC, Snyman, LW 29 June 2007 (has links)
The viability of using pulsed laser excited Raman spectroscopy as a method for diamond detection from ore, has been
investigated. In this method the spontaneous Stokes Raman signal is used as indicator of diamond, and a dual channel system is
necessary for correcting for fluorescence of minerals and diamond itself. Various pulsed laser wavelengths from 266 to 1064nm
were used, as well as cw lasers for comparison. Wavelength scans of the regions of interest, indicated that pulsed lasers at 532, 355
and 308nm may be used with confidence for this purpose. Mineral fluorescence did not appear to pose a threat to the method, but
rather own fluorescence of some types of diamonds. In this respect, pulsed lasers offer a decided advantage above cw, due to nonlinear
increase of fluorescence with laser power, resulting in superior Raman to fluorescence signal ratios. An apparatus constructed
for discriminating diamond from ore was evaluated, and using minerals commonly occurring in diamond carrying ore as well as a
wide variety of diamonds, it proved to function effectively. A significant improvement in the capability for diamond detection was
found when pulsed lasers at 532 and 308nm were used, in comparison to the 532nm cw laser.
