TLDR
The only dopant available for bulk diamond with good controllability is boron, which acts as an acceptor and can be incorporated in relatively high concentrations, allowing the design of devices for electronic applications.
Abstract
To date, the only dopant available for bulk diamond with good controllability is boron, which acts as an acceptor and can be incorporated in relatively high concentrations, allowing the design of devices for electronic applications. This paper summarizes data on doping procedures and on optical and electrical properties.

High hole mobility in boron doped diamond for power device applications

TL;DR: In this article, low boron doped homoepitaxial diamond layers were grown on Ib (100) diamond substrates with oxygen added to the gas mixture and the acceptor density of the samples has been estimated by C(V) and Hall effect to lie close to 1016 cm−3 with a maximum low field Hall mobility value of 1870 cm2/V

Interaction of hydrogen with boron, phosphorus, and sulfur in diamond

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the S-H pair is stable under conditions of limited H availability and that the B-D pair is also stable under limited hydrogen availability, and that it is energetically favorable for hydrogen to be trapped and to passivate boron and phosphorus.

Origin of Surface Conductivity in Diamond

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is given that hydrogen is only a necessary requirement for SC; exposure to air is also essential and a mechanism in which a redox reaction in an adsorbed water layer provides the electron sink for the subsurface hole accumulation layer is proposed.

Electrical Properties of Pure Silicon and Silicon Alloys Containing Boron and Phosphorus

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that at high temperatures, the electron and hole mobilities of pure silicon alloys are independent of temperature, and at lower temperatures scattering by both ionized and neutral impurity centers contribute, and the mobility is largest for the more pure samples.

Optical absorption and luminescence in diamond

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the important point defects observed optically in diamond is presented, and the relevance of the experimental results to the current controversy about how to calculate the properties of point defects is brought out.
