In recent years there have been numerous computational studies predicting the nature of cold-compressed graphite yielding a proverbial alphabet soup of carbon structures (e.g., bct-C4, K4-, M-, H-, R-, S-, T-, W- and Z-carbon). Although theoretical methods have improved, the inherent nature of graph...
