Negatively curved graphitic sheet model of amorphous carbon

Townsend, S. J., Lenosky, T. J., Muller, D. A., Nichols, C. S., Elser, V.·1992·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A computational method has been developed for generating graphitic carbon structures on an arbitrary smooth surface and with a given number of carbon rings. Using both periodic and random surfaces for constraint, many extended graphitic carbon structures have been generated. The energy relative to graphite and the bulk elastic properties have been calculated. Like their periodic counterparts, the random structures are found to be exceptionally stable. Their radial distribution functions match closely those of films of amorphous carbon grown on NaCl substrates from sublimated graphite.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
