20.1 Introduction
Diamond as a mineral is known for several thousand years. It was found in nature and was valued most of the time for its appearance and for its mechanical properties. Ultimate values of stiffness and hardness still form the base for many industrial applications, e.g., as material for cutting tools.
Later, it turned out that diamond excels in further characteristics comprising optical, thermal, and electronic properties. For electronic applications, carrier mobility μ, saturation drift velocity vs, the breakdown field strength ...
