Abstract
We have determined effective mass parameters for ultrapure diamond by time-resolved cyclotron resonance of optically excited carriers. The transverse and longitudinal electron masses are found to be and , where is the free-electron mass. The Luttinger parameters are extracted as , and , which give the light- and heavy-hole bands with considerable anisotropy and the split-off hole mass. The resonance widths indicate scattering times longer than 100 ps and carrier mobilities as high as at 10 K.
