The degree of spatial coherence after x-ray diffraction by synthetic single diamond crystals was investigated. The coherence preservation was measured by means of the Talbot effect for x-rays at the optics beamline BM5 at the ESRF. The (111)- and (100)- oriented specimens of type Ib and IIa were grown by De Beers. To establish a correlation between the coherence degradation and the surface quality, 3D surface topography was measured with an optical interferometric profiler and an AFM. Likewise, to pinpoint the relationship with crystalline quality, the samples were characterized by means of double crystal x-ray diffractometry with microscopic resolution.
