Abstract

At present, materials with nonlinear current-voltage characteristics (I-V characteristics) are widely employed in electronics and electric engineering. It has been shown that natural and HPHT synthetic diamonds have nonlinear I-V characteristics[1]. The nonlinearity of the I-V characteristics appears in the single crystals of the diamond at sufficiently high electric fields. But these electric fields are less than they have be for a diamond. The causes, that lead to the decrease of the break down field and to nonlinearity of the I-V characteristics still have not been investigated in detail.
