This paper reports on a new set of defect features in thin membrane nanodiamond. The samples were stud‐ied using Fourier transform photocurrent spectroscopy. We have observed four dominant new peaks in nanocrystalline diamond: two sharp peaks at 0.36 and 0.40 eV and broad bands at 0.27 and 0.57 eV. The first of these peaks is suggested to originate from a currently unknown bulk impurity; the other three are surface‐related and are especially prone to surface effects such as absorption/desorption over time.
