What makes diamond a superior conductor of heat?

0

Diamond has a very dense, hard crystalline structure as such, it is able to transfer heat through sound waves (phonons), much quicker and in a much more linear path than metals, which transfer heat through electrons. DiaCu offers the best of both worlds, with diamond representing 90+% of the volume of the composite, and copper comprising the interstitial remainder.
