Semimetallic carbon allotrope with a topological nodal line in mixed sp2-sp3 bonding networks
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 analogs of graphene are characterized by Dirac points or lines in momentum space, which are protected by symmetry. Here, we report a novel 3D carbon allotrope belonging to a class of topological nodal line semimetals, discovere...
متن کاملNovamene: A new class of carbon allotropes
We announce a new class of carbon allotropes. The basis of this new classification resides on the concept of combining hexagonal diamond (sp3 bonded carbon - lonsdaleite) and ring carbon (sp2 bonded carbon - graphene). Since hexagonal diamond acts as an insulator and sp2 bonded rings act as conductors, these predicted materials have potential applications for transistors and other electronic co...
متن کاملPhagraphene: A Low-Energy Graphene Allotrope Composed of 5-6-7 Carbon Rings with Distorted Dirac Cones.
Using systematic evolutionary structure searching we propose a new carbon allotrope, phagraphene [fæ'græfi:n], standing for penta-hexa-hepta-graphene, because the structure is composed of 5-6-7 carbon rings. This two-dimensional (2D) carbon structure is lower in energy than most of the predicted 2D carbon allotropes due to its sp(2)-binding features and density of atomic packing comparable to g...
متن کاملTwo dimensional Dirac carbon allotropes from graphene.
Using a structural search method in combination with first-principles calculations, we found lots of low energy 2D carbon allotropes and examined all possible Dirac points around their Fermi levels. Three amazing 2D Dirac carbon allotropes have been discovered, named as S-graphene, D-graphene and E-graphene. By analyzing the topology correlations among S-, T, net W graphene and graphene, we fou...
متن کاملThe era of carbon allotropes.
Carbon is the element in the periodic table that provides the basis for life on Earth. It is also important for many technological applications, ranging from drugs to synthetic materials. This role is a consequence of carbon’s ability to bind to itself and to nearly all elements in almost limitless variety. The resulting structural diversity of organic compounds and molecules is accompanied by ...
