Abstract

Topological arguments indicate that an infinite number of covalent carbon crystals may exist with either diamond-like (sp 3), graphitic-like (sp 2)-or mixed (sp 3/sp 2) bonding structure. We investigate the structural, elastic and electronic properties of three prototypical structure: C 34, C 20 , and C 22, respectively. All of them form a face-centered cubic lattice. Their properties have been calculated by both Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations based on the Tersoff potential. Both the sp 3-bonded C 34 and the sp 2-bonded C 20 are found to have a cohesive energy per atom very close to that of diamond. A comparison of elastic and electronic properties to those ones of diamond and graphite are also presented and discussed
