The magnetic properties of single crystals of synthetic diamond and crystals of silicon carbide were studied. High-purity samples of diamonds synthesized with HPHT and CVD technologies were used. The crystals of silicon carbide were grown by sublimation and industrial technology. Along with samples with a natural isotopic composition, monoisotopic crystals of diamond (99.96% 12C and 99.96% 13C) and silicon carbide (99.993% of 28Si) were studied. On the basis of the data obtained, the diamagnetic susceptibility was determined and the concentration of paramagnetic centers and the content of the ferromagnetic component were evaluated. The results are discussed.
