Sinks materials for

Electronic. Diamonds have been used as thermistors and radiation detectors, but inhomogeneities within the crystals have seriously limited these appHcations where diamond is an active device. This situation is rapidly changing with the availabiHty of mote perfect stones of controUed chemistry from modem synthesis methods. The defect stmcture also affects thermal conductivity, but cost and size are more serious limitations on the use of diamond as a heat sink material for electronic devices.
