can diamond be an insulator?
« on: November 22, 2004, 08:55:04 AM »
Hello guys!

I would like to ask if diamond can act as an insulator?  I know that diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance, but I'm not sure if it can act as an insulator.

Hope to receive replies from u.  Thanks.

Hmm..inorganic chemists are quiet in this topic :-\

I read from Alberty moments ago that 'diamond is effectively an electrical insulator'.  Wah! :-[  I answered that this statement is not true in my GRE Chemistry exam.  I'm so sad... :-\  I thought diamond is the hardest known substance, but I'm not sure why it is qualified to become an effective insulator...

Would appreciate replies from u guys...
