Abstract
A near-crisis is looming in the quest for a proper understanding of th e role of hydrogen in diamond-this is increasingly appreciated as the key to the evident role of hydrogen in the growth of chemical vapour d eposition (CVD) diamond, to the geochemical history and meaning of hyd rogen in natural diamond, and finally to the effect of hydrogen in dia mond when the latter is used as an electronic device. Hydrogen is the simplest dopant in diamond and this appreciation exacerbates the need for a proper quantitative accounting for the static and dynamic proper ties of hydrogen in diamond of all heritages.
