研究目的
To theoretically investigate a new two-dimensional semiconducting carbon allotrope, hP-C18 carbon, and its buckled 3D structure, hP-C18-3D carbon, using first-principles calculations to explore their structural, dynamical, thermal, mechanical, and electronic properties.
研究成果
The study concludes that hP-C18 carbon is a metastable 2D carbon phase with a unique sp2-sp3 network, exhibiting dynamical, thermal, and mechanical stability. It is an indirect semiconductor with a band gap of 2.93 eV (HSE06). Its buckled 3D structure, hP-C18-3D carbon, is also predicted to be a super-hard indirect semiconductor with a band gap of 2.24 eV (HSE06). Both structures hold potential for electronic and mechanical applications.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and relies on computational models, which may not fully capture all real-world conditions or potential synthesis challenges. The practical synthesis of hP-C18 carbon and its 3D structure remains to be experimentally validated.
