Studies aimed at designing new allotropic forms of carbon have received much attention. Recently, a new 2D graphene-like allotrope named Pentahexoctite was theoretically proposed. Pentahexoctite has a metallic signature, and its structure…
Herein, we conduct a comprehensive investigation of Hexa-graphyne (HXGY), a planar carbon allotrope formed by distorted hexagonal and rectangular rings incorporating sp and sp$^2$-hybridized carbon atoms. First-principles calculations…
A structurally stable crystalline carbon allotrope is predicted by means of the first-principles calculations. This allotrope can be derived by substituting each atom in diamond with a carbon tetrahedron, and possesses the same space group…
Carbon enjoys a vast number of allotropic forms, each possessing unique properties determined by the lattice structures and bonding characters. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we propose a new three-dimensional carbon…
We use large scale ab-initio calculations to describe electronic structures of graphene, graphene nanoribbons, and carbon nanotubes periodically perforated with nanopores. We disclose common features of these systems and develop a unified…
New forms of carbon-based materials have received great attention, and the developed materials have found many applications in nanotechnology. Interesting novel carbon structures include the carbon peapods, which are comprised of fullerenes…
A new kind of three-dimensional carbon allotropes, termed carbon honeycomb (CHC), has recently been synthesized [PRL 116, 055501 (2016)]. Based on the experimental results, a family of graphene networks are constructed, and their electronic…
We study the interfacial structure, stability, and elastic properties of composite carbon films containing nanotubes. Our Monte Carlo simulations show that Van der Waals forces play a vital role in shaping up the interfacial geometry,…
We demonstrate theoretically that hydrogenation and annealing applied to nanoscale carbon structures play a crucial role in determining the final shape of the system. In particular, graphene flakes characterized by the linear and…
Through a systematic structural search we found an allotrope of carbon with Cmmm symmetry which we predict to be more stable than graphite for pressures above 10 GPa. This material, which we refer to as Z-carbon, is formed by pure sp3 bonds…
A novel carbon allotrope, hexagonal C12, is proposed from crystal chemistry and quantum density functional theory DFT calculations of ground state and physical properties. The structure exhibits corner sharing distorted tetrahedra with the…
Both boron nitride (BN) and carbon (C) have sp, sp2 and sp3 hybridization modes, and thus resulting in a variety of BN and C polymorphs with similar structures, such as hexagonal BN (hBN) and graphite, cubic BN (cBN) and diamond. Here, five…
Carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional and very narrow. These obvious facts imply that under doping with boron and nitrogen, microscopic doping inhomogeneity is much more important than for bulk semiconductors. We consider the possibility of…
Allotropes of carbon, including one-dimensional carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional graphene sheets, continue to draw attention as promising platforms for probing the physics of electrons in lower dimensions. Recent research has shown that…
A two-field model provides an unifying framework for elasticity, lattice dynamics and electromechanical coupling in graphene and carbon nanotubes, describes optical phonons, nontrivial acoustic branches, strain-induced gap opening,…
Prompted by recent reports on $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ graphene superlattices with intrinsic inter-valley interactions, we perform first-principles calculations to investigate the electronic properties of periodically nitrogen-doped…
Based on the third allotropic form of carbon (Fullerenes) through theoretical study have been predicted structures described as non-classical fullerenes. We have studied novel allotropic carbon structures with a closed cage configuration…
Nowadays sp carbon chains terminated by graphene or graphitic-like carbon are synthesized routinely in several nanotech labs. We propose an ab-initio study of such carbon-only materials, by computing their structure and stability, as well…
The stability of graphene nanoribbons in the presence of typical atmospheric molecules is systematically investigated by means of density functional theory. We calculate the edge formation free energy of five different edge configurations…
