A new phase from compression of carbon nanotubes with anisotropic Dirac fermions

Searching for novel functional carbon materials is an enduring topic of scientific investigations, due to its diversity of bonds, including sp-, sp2-, and sp3-hybridized bonds. Here we predict a new carbon allotrope, bct-C12 with the body-centered tetragonal I4/mcm symmetry, from the compression of...
