Abstract
MEASUREMENTS of the thermal conductivities of a hundred diamonds at temperatures between 320 and 450 K have been reported1. These results were interpreted in terms of nitrogen impurity alone, although it was suggested that hydrogen might give an effect in other diamonds with absorption peaks at 3.22 µm wavelength. We report here measurements of the thermal conductivities of 24 natural diamonds with this IR absorption2,3.
