Metallic and ferromagnetic carbon allotrope discovered using molecular precursors

Although carbon materials are known for their versatile structures and properties, a crystalline phase of carbon being both metallic and ferromagnetic is yet to be found. Here, using an organic molecular precursor 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene (C_{6}H_{12}) and a comprehensive theoretical study, we have dis...
