Abstract
We study an unusual class of carbon structures, based on rigidly interconnected segments of graphite. The resulting foamlike systems cover the structural phase space extending from hexagonal diamond to graphite. Related to the most stable phases of carbon, these hybrid systems show an unusually high structural stability at low mass densities. Our density-functional calculations indicate that carbon foam is metallic, stable, and structurally rigid.
