Two large diamonds S<sub>1</sub> and S<sub>5</sub>, both of good optical quality, were subjected to β-irradiation and the electrical conduction responses were studied under a variety of conditions With S<sub>1</sub> special attention was paid to the formation and removal of space charge There is evidence that the mechanisms of space charge removal by β-irradiation and by illumination respectively are not quite the same The efficiency of this diamond as a β-particle counter was not appreciably different from that of a standard Geiger counterSmall volume elements of S<sub>1</sub> and S<sub>5</sub> were examined individually for β-counting efficiency While S<sub>1</sub> did not show a variation greater than 20%, variations as large as ten to one were found in different parts of S<sub>5</sub> The results were not inconsistent with the existence of a correlation between the ultra-violet transmission and the counting efficiency of any selected volume elementThe β-response of S<sub>1</sub> was more than three times the best response from S<sub>5</sub> under comparable conditions, while the ultra-violet transmission limits were 2250 and 2850 Å respectively |
