What is it about?
Diamond films are good alternatives to silicon, especially in fabricating resonators, due to its superior physical and thermal properties such as extremely high Young's modulus and thermal conductivity. Reaching the intrinsic damping of this material can reveal more about its thermal and mechanical properties, which is done in this research.

Why is it important?
Diamond material could be a good alternative to Si sue to its superior thermal and physical properties such as extremely high Young's modulus and thermal conductivity. To prove that one can reach the intrinsic damping, i.e. thermoelastic damping, resonators were made and tested.
