34 Heat conduction
Except for most blue diamonds, which are semiconductors, diamonds are good electrical insulators, meaning they reduce the flow of electricity.
Blue diamonds owe their semi-conductive property to boron impurities, which act as a doping agent and cause p-type semiconductor behavior.
Diamonds appear cold and hard, but theyre good conductors of heat because of the strong chemical bonds within the crystal.
Most natural blue diamonds contain boron atoms which replace carbon atoms in the crystal matrix, and also have high thermal conductivity.
Heat is a property contained in most materials, and has the tendency to flow to areas of lesser heat.
A substance that is a thermal insulator reduced the flow of heat.
Diamonds are actually excellent conductors of heat, better than more well-known heat conductors like copper or silver.
Diamonds will warm-up.
Its as if when we talk about a diamonds fire,
