Preface

Nowadays, many researchers all over the world consider diamond as a wide-gap semiconductor material. Its key parameters, such as charge carrier mobility, breakdown voltage, and transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared ranges, are higher than those of other semiconductors. Only gallium arsenide and graphene have larger values of electron mobility. For years it was difficult to use diamonds in electronics and photonics due to the low quality of natural and

However, the technologies of chemical vapor deposition diamond synthesis and doping enable us to apply diamond-based devices in high technologies. Besides that, diamond shows good results as a material for heat sinks. Due to its extremely high hardness it has perspectives in the production of high-tech optical elements, intendors, and anvils. The spectrum of possible diamond applications is permanently

This book describes some aspects of synthetic diamond applications in the high-tech field. It will be interesting and useful for master's course students, researchers, and
