Abstract
Diamond is one of the simplest and most important systems in condensed matter. It has considerable mechanical strength; also it has extremely high thermal conductivity and chemical stability even at several hundreds of degrees Celsius. The recent success in depositing diamond films on nondiamond substrates by a chemical transport method or other methods [1] has revived the interest in the material properties [2] and potential applications in electronics and optics [3]. Of course, there is the important, yet trivial, application of diamond in jewelry, exploiting its high refractive index.
