Abstract
It is shown that natural diamond can be used as a homogeneous conduction counter with near complete charge collection, even over a long period of time. Indeed, polarization effects have been suppressed by making the back contact of the detector injecting under the influence of the applied field in order to compensate for trapped charge carriers. The electric and detection characteristics of these counters have been investigated. Possible application fields are briefly discussed.Keywords
