Abstract:In this paper, the investigation of possible methods for obtaining two diamond-like polycyclobutane LA3 and LA5 phases was carried out using the density functional theory method. The calculations were performed in the local density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation. It was established that the structures of the polycyclobutane phases can be formed on the basis of layer precursors made of hexagonal L 6 graphene and tetragonal L 4-8 graphene. Tetragonal LA3 phase can be obtained from hexag… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
