Calculations of the Structural Properties and Electron Staids of a-DLC

The structural properties and electron states of amorphous diamond-like carbon （a-DLC） are determined by firs-principles calculations. Results are presented for the stability, hybrid fraction and density of states of the material based on the local geometrical distortion in the a-DLC.Investigations of the structural and electronmic properties of the a-DLC provide new insights into the microscopic structure of the material produced in compressive stress experiments.
