Designing a sp3 structure of carbon T-C9: First-principles calculations

A novel superhard carbon allotrope T-C9 with an all-sp3 bonding network is theoretically predicted in this work. The new phase of the carbon allotrope has tetragonal symmetry with space group P-4m2, and the structural properties, stability, mechanical anisotropy, mechanical and electronic properties...
