We report pure carbon-based superlattices that exhibit direct band gaps and excellent optical absorption and emission properties at the threshold energy. The structures are nearly identical to that of cubic diamond except that defective…

Two novel two-dimensional carbon allotropes comprised of octagons and pentagons are proposed based on the first-principles calculations. The two carbon allotropes, named OPG-L and OPG-Z, are found to have distinct properties. OPG-L is…

Based on crystal engineering and density functional theory DFT calculations a transformational pathway is proposed from qtz (quartz-based) topology characterized by distorted tetrahedra to dia (diamond-like) regular tetrahedra topology. The…

Three new novel phases of carbon nitride (CN) bilayer, which are named as \alpha-C$_{2}$N$_{2}$, \beta-C$_{2}$N$_{2}$ and \gamma-C$_{4}$N$_{4}$, respectively, have been predicted in this paper. All of them are consisted of two CN sheets…

The exceptional ability of carbon to form sp2 and sp3 bonding states leads to a great structural and chemical diversity of carbon-bearing phases at non-ambient conditions. Here we use laser-heated diamond anvil cells combined with…

Potentially new, single-atom thick semiconducting 2D-graphene-like material, called Anisotropic-cyclicgraphene, have been generated by the two stage searching strategy linking molecular and ab initio approach. The candidate derived from the…

First-principles electronic band structure investigations of five compounds of the CaO-Al2O3 family, 3CaO.Al2O3, 12CaO.7Al2O3, CaO.Al2O3, CaO.2Al2O3 and CaO.6Al2O3, as well as CaO and alpha-, theta- and kappa-Al2O3 are performed. We find…

Cohesive energies, energy-volume equations of states EOS, electron localization ELF maps, elastic constants, and band structures are reported for original octacarbon C8 three dimensional 3D and two-dimensional 2D chemical systems based on…

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 have investigated the electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of six structures belonging to the Tubulanes-cross-linked carbon nanotube family. Our results highlight the remarkable anisotropic mechanical behavior of these…

We predict superconductivity for the carbon-boron clathrate SrB3C3 at 27-43 K for Coulomb pseudopotential (mu*) values between 0.17 and 0.10 using first-principles calculations with conventional electron-phonon coupling. Electrical…

We propose three-dimensional carbon (3D-C) structures based on the Archimedean lattices (ALs) by combining $sp^2$ bonding in the polygon edges and $sp^3$ bonding in the polygon vertices. By first-principles calculations, four types of 3D-C…

Recently, a new carbon 3D carbon allotrope named pentadiamond was proposed. Pentadiamond is composed of carbon atoms in mixed sp$^2$ and sp$^3$-like hybridization. In this work, we have carried out a detailed investigation of the electronic…

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…

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…

MAB phases (MABs) are atomically-thin laminates of ceramic/metallic-like layers, having made a breakthrough in the development of 2D materials. Though theoretically offering a vast chemical and phase space, relatively few MABs have yet been…

We propose previously unknown allotropes of phosphorus carbide (PC) in the stable shape of an atomically thin layer. Different stable geometries, which result from the competition between sp2 bonding found in graphitic C and sp3 bonding…

Two mechanisms of changes from 2D to 3D (D = dimensionality) involving 2D C(sp2) trigonal paving to C(sp3) tetrahedral stacking are proposed through puckering of the 2D layers on one hand and interlayer insertion of extra C on the other…

Graphene is known as a two-dimensional Dirac semimetal, in which electron states are described by the Dirac equation of relativistic quantum mechanics. Three-dimensional analogues of graphene are characterized by Dirac points or lines in…

A group of newly discovered non-magnetic metal kagome structures AV3Sb5 (A=K, Rb, Cs) have aroused widespread interest in experiment and theory due to their unusual charge density wave (CDW) and intertwined superconductivity. However, they…
