Resumen:
A study of the phosphorescence mechanisms in polycrystalline diamond films was carried out through their thermoluminescent (TL) vanishing glow response. The polycrystalline diamond films phosphoresced when kept at room or higher temperatures after being excited with a UV light source. The observed behaviour of shallow and deep traps during the phosphorescence process can be explained with a simple time-dependent model. The diamond film phosphorescence was induced by exciting with a UV light source of 4 W and 254 nm wavelength. The TL vanishing glow curves were integrated from room temperature to 350 °C at a linear heating rate of 10 °C s-1 in a N2 atmosphere. The optical response of the diamond films was studied by means of its luminescence spectra, showing a broad emission band centered around 500 nm.
