Abstract

A near-crisis is looming in the quest for a proper understanding of the role of hydrogen in diamond-this is increasingly appreciated as the key to the evident role of hydrogen in the growth of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond, to the geochemical history and meaning of hydrogen in natural diamond, and finally to the effect of hydrogen in diamond when the latter is used as an electronic device. Hydrogen is the simplest dopant in diamond and this appreciation exacerbates the need for a proper quantitative accounting for the static and dynamic properties of hydrogen in diamond of all heritages.
