Discontinuous phase diagram of amorphous carbons

The short-range order and medium-range order of amorphous carbons demonstrated in experiments allow us to rethink whether there exist intrinsic properties hidden by atomic disordering.Here we presented six representative phases of amorphous carbons(0.1-3.4 g/cm3),namely,disordered graphene network(DGN),high-density amorphous carbon(HDAC),amorphous diaphite(a-DG),amorphous diamond(a-D),paracrystalline diamond(p-D),and nano-polycrystalline diamond(NPD),respectively,classified by their topological features and microstructural characterizations that are comparable with experiments.To achieve a comprehensive physical landscape for amorphous carbons,a phase diagram was plotted in the sp3/sp2 versus density plane,in which the counterintuitive discontinuity originates from the inherent difference in topological microstructures,further guiding us to discover a variety of phase transitions among different amorphous carbons.Intriguingly,the power law,log(sp3/sp2)∝ pn,hints at intrinsic topology and hidden order in amorphous carbons,providing an insightful perspective to reacquaint atomic disorder in non-crystalline carbons.
