The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

It is suggested that the substitutional nitrogen in diamonds bonded to three of the surrounding carbon atoms instead of four. This proposed electron configuration of the defect is deduced from previous experiments and theoretical considerations. Notably, the 1344 cm-1 band, characteristics of the substitutional Nitrogen, is independent of the isotopic change of Nitrogen but depend on the isotopic change of Carbon. The well established NV centre should not be stable if Nitrogen is bounded to four of the surrounding Carbon. Additional support comes from the substantially bigger size of the single substitutional nitrogen atom indicating loan pair electron. The proposed configuration of the substitutional Nitrogen was also tested by using a simple force constant model. Replacing force constant of C-N with 2/3 C-C:1/3 C=C reproduces the 1344 cm-1 band.

The paper
Original abstract

It is suggested that the substitutional nitrogen in diamonds bonded to three of the surrounding carbon atoms instead of four. This proposed electron configuration of the defect is deduced from previous experiments and theoretical considerations. Notably, the 1344 cm-1 band, characteristics of the substitutional Nitrogen, is independent of the isotopic change of Nitrogen but depend on the isotopic change of Carbon. The well established NV centre should not be stable if Nitrogen is bounded to four of the surrounding Carbon. Additional support comes from the substantially bigger size of the single substitutional nitrogen atom indicating loan pair electron. The proposed configuration of the substitutional Nitrogen was also tested by using a simple force constant model. Replacing force constant of C-N with 2/3 C-C:1/3 C=C reproduces the 1344 cm-1 band.
