Abstract
Recently, a new 3D carbon allotrope named pentadiamond was proposed composed by mixed sp2 and sp3-like hybridization. In this work, we have carried out a detailed investigation of the electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of pentadiamond structure using first-principles methods. Our results show that pentadiamond has an indirect bandgap semiconductor of 2.50eV with GGA-PBE and 3.31eV with HSE06. Its static dielectric constant is 4.70 and the static refractive index is 2.16. Pentadiamond presents low reflectivity, making it a good structure to be used as a UV collector. Also, pentadiamond is a material that presents good thermoelectric properties.
