EENKRISTALDIAMANT MET ZEER HOGE THERMISCHE GELEIDENDHEID EN WERKWIJZE TER BEREIDING DAARVAN, BENEVENS VOORWERPEN GEHEEL OF GEDEELTELIJK VERVAARDIGD UIT DEZE DIAMANT.

摘要

Single-crystal diamond consisting of isotopically pure carbon-12 or carbon-13 has been found to have a thermal conductivity higher than that of any substance previously known, typically at least 40% higher than that of naturally occurring IIA diamond. It may be prepared by a method comprising comminution of diamond of high isotopic purity, such as that obtained by low pressure chemical vapor deposition employing an isotopically pure hydrocarbon in combination with hydrogen, followed by conversion of the comminuted diamond to single-crystal diamond under high pressure conditions.
