High temperature superconductivity in diamond

Abstract

This proposal will investigate the potential of diamond as a high temperature superconductor. Given that intrinsic diamond is also an electrical insulator, has an exceptionally high dielectric strength and conducts heat even more effectively than copper, a diamond based superconductor would be very robust and versatile. The outcomes of this project will be elucidation of the mechanism of superconductivity in diamond and a critical test of the new theory of high temperature superconductivity.
