The extreme instability and strong chemical activity of carbyne, the infinite sp1 hybridized carbon chain, are responsible for its low possibility to survive in ambient conditions. Therefore, much less has been possible to explore about…
As the fourth most abundant element in the universe, carbon plays an important role in the physical and chemical evolution of the interstellar medium. Due to its unique property to form three different types of chemical bonds through sp^1,…
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…
Two-dimensional heterostructures combining sp-sp2 hybridization,blending graphene with graphyne-based allotropes, offer substantial potential for enhancing the tunability of electronic and transport properties while providing significant…
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…
We identify by ab initio calculations a new type of three-dimensional carbon allotropes constructed by inserting acetylenic or diacetylenic bonds into a body-centered cubic C$_8$ lattice. The resulting $sp+sp^3$-hybridized cubane-yne and…
Most of hydrocarbons are either molecular structures or linear polymeric chains. Discovery of graphene and manufacturing of its monohydride -- graphane incite interest in search for three-dimensional hydrocarbon polymers. However up to now…
In the last three decades or so, we have witnessed an extraordinary progress in the research and technology of carbon-based nanomaterials. Among the peculiar highlights are the discoveries of fullerene, the carbon nanotubes and the…
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…
We report a general scheme to systematically construct two classes of structural families of superhard sp3 carbon allotropes of cold compressed graphite through the topological analysis of odd 5+7 or even 4+8 membered carbon rings stemmed…
Fundamentally new families of carbon single walled nanotubes are proposed. These nanotubes, called graphynes, result from the elongation of covalent interconnections of graphite-based nanotubes by the introduction of yne groups. Similarly…
The formation of one-dimensional carbon chains from graphene nanoribbons is investigated using it ab initio molecular dynamics. We show under what conditions it is possible to obtain a linear atomic chain via pulling of the graphene…
Two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes have received considerable attention due to their unique properties and potential applications in several fields, including electronics, catalysis, energy storage, and sensing. Following the…
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…
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…
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…
Carbon nanotubes are a feverishly-studied topic in the scientific community as of late. Mathematically, they can be modeled with a quantum graph. Here we consider a structure somewhat similar to carbon nanotubes, another quantum graph that…
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…
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…
A novel crystalline structure of hybrid monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (BN) and graphene is predicted by means of the first-principles calculations. This material can be derived via boron or nitrogen atoms substituted by carbon atoms…
