Chemical vapor deposited diamond films grown on strained gallium nitride-coated quartz substrate are found to display a dominantly hexagonal diamond phase. The phase identification is done using Raman spectroscopy and orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). The presence of a band in the Raman spectra is attributed to a hexagonal diamond symmetry, but the unambiguous signature of the hexagonal phase is confirmed by OIM. A phase map of the sample clearly shows that 88% of the scanned sample area is hexagonal diamond.
