C. Koike et al., THE INFRARED-SPECTRA OF DIAMOND-LIKE RESIDUES FROM THE ALLENDE METEORITE, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 277(3), 1995, pp. 986-994
Infrared spectra of fine-grained diamond-like residues extracted from
Allende meteorites were measured. For comparison with these spectra, w
e also measured the spectra of synthetic diamond particles. We show th
at some of the minor unidentified diffuse interstellar bands (UIBs) mi
ght be expected to arise from diamond-like grains.
