The NI centre in Type Ia diamonds is a di-nitrogen centre with S = One nitrogen's interaction with the unpaired electron at room temperature gives a large splitting, All = 46.4 G, Al = 32.2 G with <111> symmetry while the hyperfine splitting due to the other one has <110> symmetry with parameters All = 2.95 ± .03 G, A, = 2.81 ± .03 G. As the temperature is increased averaging effects start; fiFst some hyperfine lines broaden at about 1500C and disappear at 200'C. At still higher temperatures new lines appear and at about 8501C the averaging process is completed. The interpretation of the dynamics leads to a model of a non-planar N-C-C-N configuration with the electron jumping between the two N-C bonds. The measured activation energy is 0.4 eV which is about midway between the measured values for a similar effect in the isolated nitrogen centre, P1, (E = 0.7eV) and the N-C-N, W7, centre (E = 0.24 eV).
