    Figures & Tables(10)
    Primitive cell of (a) Pbam-32, (b) P6/mmm, and (c) I4¯3d. They are composed of tetrahedra network, which is the characteristic of sp3 hybridization. The numbers of panels (a) and (b) refer to fivefold, sixfold, sevenfold, and eightfold topological carbon rings.
    Calculated Raman spectra of powder sample at 300 K with 532-nm excitation light. There are obvious peaks in the middle frequency region from 600 cm−1 to 1150 cm−1 except for diamond.
    Vibrational modes of principle peaks of Pbam-32.
    Vibrational modes of principle peaks of P6/mmm.
    Vibrational modes of principle peaks for I4¯3d. We only give carbon wireframe here for clarity.
    Calculated electronic band structures of (a) Pbam-32, (b) P6/mmm, and (c) I4¯3d. The energy of the highest occupied state is set to be zero.
    • Table 1. Calculated crystal parameters of Pbam-32, P6/mmm, and I4¯3d. Integer fractions represent atomic positions fixed by symmetry. Their energy values relative to diamond are listed in the last column. Data with * is cited from Ref. [7].
