In the dc regime, defect transitions D1 to D8 were detected at 0.8–0.9, 1, 1.37, 1.78, 2.27, 3.15, 4.2 and 5.42 eV, respectively. Hints for more transitions were found for measurements in the ac (modulated) regime in the range near D3. SPV measurements in the ac (transient) regime showed the importance of disorder for relaxation of SPV signals excited at different photon energies. Phonon assisted transitions were observed at Eg− Ex− hνLA,LO, Eg− Ex + hνLA,LO and Eg− Ex + hνTO. The developed SPV techniques are suitable for applications in research and quality control not only for diamond but also for any other semiconductor with ultra-wide bandgap.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6641/aca788} (DOI).
