Boron-doped diamond

Boron-doped diamond is a type of diamond that has been intentionally infused with boron atoms during its formation. This process transforms the diamond from an insulator into a conductor of electricity, creating a material that combines the exceptional hardness of diamond with good electrical conductivity. Such diamonds are used in advanced electronic and sensor applications, especially where durability and chemical stability are crucial. The doping with boron effectively introduces "holes" — positive charge carriers — enabling the diamond to conduct current, making it a unique and valuable material for high-performance technologies.
