ABSTRACT
Alpha particles have been
used for the first time in order to characterize the transport properties of
polycrystalline CVD diamond films. Advantages with respect to other techniques
which make use of alpha particles or light are that it is easier to discriminate
between holes and electrons, localization of deposited energy is more precise
and the value of deposited energy is not subjected to Landau
fluctuations
