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…
Search for new high-temperature superconductors and insight into their superconducting mechanism are of fundamental importance in condensed matter physics. The discovery of near-room temperature superconductivity at more than a million…
The pressure-induced structural transition from graphite to diamond is investigated by semi-empirical molecular dynamics simulation. The result shows that the graphite-diamond transition is a cooperative process with large fluctuation. We…
Original carbon allotropes C12 and C16 called superglitter and squarodiamond from relationships with literature glitter and squaroglitter respectively are shown through DFT-based geometry to be cohesive with energy dependent properties as…
Carbon is one of the most intriguing elements in the Periodic Table. It forms many allotropes, some being known from ancient times (diamond and graphite) and some discovered ten to twenty years ago (fullerenes, nanotubes). Quite…
The immense interest in carbon nanomaterials continues to stimulate intense research activities aimed to realize carbon nanowires, since linear chains of carbon atoms are expected to display novel and technologically relevant optical,…
We have performed quantum Monte Carlo calculations to study the cohesion energetics of carbon allotropes, including $sp^3$-bonded diamond, $sp^2$-bonded graphene, $sp$-$sp^2$ hybridized graphynes, and $sp$-bonded carbyne. The computed…
We show that patterned defects can be used to disrupt the sub-lattice symmetry of graphene so as to open up a band gap. This way of modifying graphene's electronic structure does not rely on external agencies, the addition of new elements…
We unveil the diamondization mechanism of few-layer graphene compressed in the presence of water, providing robust evidence for the pressure-induced formation of 2D diamond. High-pressure Raman spectroscopy provides evidence of a phase…
The thriving area of synthetic carbon allotropes witnesses theoretic proposals and experimental syntheses of many new two-dimensional ultrathin structures, which are often achieved by careful arrangement of non-hexagon $\mathrm{sp^2}$…

Using systematic evolutionary structure searching we propose a new carbon allotrope, phagraphene, standing for penta-hexa-hepta-graphene, because the structure is composed of 5-6-7 carbon rings. This two-dimensional (2D) carbon structure is…
We show by means of molecular dynamics simulations that graphene is an excellent coating for diamond. The transformation of diamond to amorphous carbon while sliding under pressure can be prevented by having at least two graphene layers…
