- What is a good material (good=price + availability) which is
- an electrical insulator and a good conductor of heat?
-
- It will be used at temperatures as low as 4.2 Kelvin and it needs
- to hold up to about 200 volts / mm, heat conductivity needs to
- be comparable to copper. Does it exist?
-
- Note: Diamond may be ideal but not practical!
