We report a collection of lowest-energy structures of hydrocarbon molecules C_{m}H_{n} (m=1-18; n=0-2m+2). The structures are examined within a wide hydrogen chemical potential range. The genetic algorithm combined with Brenner's empirical…
Off-lattice Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations of the clean diamond (111) surface, based on the effective many-body Brenner potential, yield the $(2\times1)$ Pandey reconstruction in agreement with \emph{ab-initio} calculations and…
Nanomaterials are anticipated to be promising storage media, owing to their high surface-to-mass ratio. The high hydrogen capacity achieved by using graphene has reinforced this opinion and motivated investigations of the possibility to use…
The pressure-induced transformation of diatomic nitrogen into non-molecular polymeric phases may produce potentially useful high-energy-density materials. We combine first-principles calculations with structure searching to predict a new…
Graphane is a two-dimensional system consisting of a single layer of fully saturated (sp$^3$ hybridization) carbon atoms. In an ideal graphane structure C-H bonds exhibit an alternating pattern (up and down with relation to the plane…
Fullerenes are lowest energy structures for gas phase all-carbon particles for a range of sizes, but graphite remains the lowest energy allotrope of bulk carbon. This implies that the lowest energy structure changes nature from fullerenes…
Using the density functional theory we investigate a quasi-two dimensional carbon allotrope, ZzC, formed by square carbon lattice buckled in zigzag manner. By analyzing the Kohn-Sham energy and phonon dispersion obtained by lattice…
A great efficacy of molecular quantum chemistry applied to basic graphene problems has been recently demonstrated by the authors when studying the formation of peculiar composites between carbon nanotubes and graphene as well as considering…
Ubiquitously found in the Universe, atomic hydrogen represents up to 70% of the neutral gas composition of the Milky Way. As an adatom, hydrogen can physisorb or chemisorb onto interstellar dust grains and icy mantles, thereby contributing…
The possibility of intrinsic superconductivity in alkali-coated graphene monolayers has been recently suggested theoretically. Here, we derive the possible pairing symmetries of a carbon honeycomb lattice and discuss their phase diagram. We…
We present an atomic-resolution observation and analysis of graphene constrictions and ribbons with sub-nanometer width. Graphene membranes are studied by imaging side spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy at 80…
A novel stable carbon allotrope is predicted by using first-principles calculations. This allotrope is obtained by replacing one of the two atoms in the primitive cell of diamond with a carbon tetrahedron, thus it contains five atoms in one…
Graphynes are 2D porous structures deriving from graphene featuring triangular and regularly distributed subnanometer pores, which may be exploited to host small gaseous species. First principles adsorption energies of molecular hydrogen…
A series of carbon allotropes with novel optoelectronic and rich topological properties is predicted by systematic first-principles calculations. These fascinating carbon allotropes can be derived by inserting acetylenic linkages…
Carbon's versatility allows it to form diverse structures with unique properties, driven by its moderate electronegativity, small ionic radius, and ability to adopt \textit{sp}, \textit{sp\textsuperscript{2}}, and…
The formation of graphen-nanotube composites addresses a few basic problems. First, both partners are good donors and acceptors of electrons, which significantly complicates the intermolecular interaction between them leading to a two-well…
Tremendous experimental and theoretical attempts to find carbon based two-dimensional semiconductors have yielded a wide variety of graphene polymorphs, such as carbon-nitride, carbonboride, graphyne and graphdiyne 2D materials with highly…
In this study, based on density functional theory (DFT), we propose a new branch of pseudo-fullerenes which contain triple bonds with sp hybridization. We should call these new nanostructures fullerynes, according to IUPAC. We present four…
The mobility of graphene is very high because the quantum Hall effects can be observed even at room temperature. Graphene has the potential of the material for novel devices because of this high mobility. But the energy gap of graphene is…
Carbon foams are hypothetical carbon allotropes that contain graphite-like (sp$^2$ carbon) segments, connected by sp$^3$ carbon atoms, resulting in porous structures. In this work the DFTB (Density Functional based Tight-Binding) method…
