Abstract

Described herein is a novel crystalline pattern in space group Ammm, that is a model of a C allotrope. This so-called isoglitter structure-type is an analogue to the graphite-diamond hybrids. A DFT geometry optimization and band structure calculation indicates that the lattice is metallic in a C realization.
