Penta-C<sub>20</sub>: A Superhard Direct Band Gap Carbon Allotrope Composed of Carbon Pentagon

A metastable <i>sp</i><sup>3</sup>-bonded carbon allotrope, Penta-C<sub>20</sub>, consisting entirely of carbon pentagons linked through bridge-like bonds, was proposed and studied in this work for the first time. Its structure, stability, and electronic and mecha...
