【化学】五角形で構成される新たな炭素同素体「ペンタグラフェン」を発見 - バージニア連邦大
An international team of scientists, led by Prof Puru Jena of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond,
has discovered a new structural variant of carbon called penta-graphene.
Based on extensive analyses and simulations, the team shows that penta-graphene, composed of only
carbon pentagons and resembling Cairo pentagonal tiling, is dynamically, thermally, and mechanically stable;
the material exhibits negative Poisson’s ratio, a large band gap, and an ultrahigh mechanical strength.
