Semi-metallic Be5C2 monolayer global minimum with quasi-planar pentacoordinate carbons and negative Poisson’s ratio

There is tremendous research into new materials with interesting topological properties. Here, the authors use density functional theory to design a two dimensional material pseudo-planar material in which each carbon atom is bonded to five beryllium atoms forming a quasi-planar pentacoordinate carb...
