Reply to 'Comment on "Angstrom-scale probing of paramagnetic centers location in nanodiamonds by He NMR at low temperatures"' by A. Shames, V. Osipov and A. Panich, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2018, 20, DOI.

Shames et al. made a comment on our article (DOI: 10.1039/C7CP05898E) stating that their experience in EPR studies of detonation nanodiamonds suggests the existence of two main types of paramagnetic center in detonation nanodiamonds which questions our results.

Angstrom-scale probing of paramagnetic centers location in nanodiamonds by He NMR at low temperatures.

In this article a method to assess the location of paramagnetic centers in nanodiamonds was proposed. The nuclear magnetic relaxation of adsorbed He used as a probe in this method was studied at temperatures of 1.5-4.
