This paper revies the preparation and properties of hard forms of amorphous carbon and
hydrogenated amorphous carbon, often known as diamond-like carbon. Properties such as …

The hard forms of amorphous carbon and hydrogenated amorphous carbon, also known as
diamond-like carbon, have recently aroused considerable interest as coating materials. This …

Humans first used carbon as chars from firewood in ritual paintings and primitive
metallurgical processes. Natural forms of carbon have been known since antiquity, yet the …

A method is introduced to stochastically generate crystal structures with defined structural
characteristics. Reasonable quotient graphs for symmetric crystals are constructed using a …

▪ Abstract The synthesis, characterization, and tuning of solid state materials by means of
high-pressure techniques is reviewed from the perspective of a solid state chemist. Because …

Superhard materials are needed to replace diamond in applications at high temperatures,
where diamond is unstable. Novel carbon‐and boron‐based materials are described whose …

In this manuscript, is addressed the computational prediction of five new allotropes based on
the Squaroglitter structure (tP8 carbon). DFT calculations of tP12, tP16, tP24, oP12 and o …

Abstract Design and synthesis of three-dimensional metallic carbons are currently one of the
hot issues in contemporary condensed matter physics because of their fascinating …

Using a recently developed approach to constructing covalent network structures from linear
carbyne, we identify by ab initio calculations a new carbon allotrope in () symmetry that …

There has been a long-standing search for 3D metallic, superhard carbon, stable under
ambient conditions. Here, we report the discovery of a new 3D orthorhombic phase (denoted …
