W11, W12, W13 and W14 are four paramagnetic defects with S = 3/2 obser
ved in electron or neutron irradiated type Ib diamonds. Although spin
Hamiltonian parameters have been determined that describe the ESR resu
lts very well, it will be shown that the normal spin the normal spin H
amiltonian with S = 3/2 is not entirely sufficient to describe the ang
ular dependence of the ESR spectra. Possible tentative models for the
defects will be discussed.
