Summary: | Single-crystal diamonds with characteristic sizes of 2-7 mm doped with boron in the concentration range 10{sup 19}-10{sup 20} cm{sup -3} have been grown by the temperature gradient method at high static pressures. The temperature dependence of the resistance R of the synthesized single crystals has been measured in the range 0.5 K < T < 297 K. An activated dependence R(T) with an activation energy of about 50 meV is observed in the range from room temperature to T {approx} 200 K. At temperatures below approximately 50 K, the temperature dependence of the conductivity for heavily doped crystals is proportional to T{sup 1/2}, which is characteristic of degenerate semiconductors with a high number of defects. |
