Abstract
Using first-principles calculations,we predict a new type of two-dimensional(2D)beryllium(Be)-decorated T-graphene named BeC2,where Be atoms are inserted into C-C bonds linking the carbon tetrarings of T-graphene.The band structure shows that BeC2 is metallic,thus,the possible phonon-mediated superconductivity is explored based on the Eliashberg equation.The calcu-lated electron-phonon coupling(EPC)constant λ is up to 4.07,and the corresponding superconducting critical temperature(Tc)is 72.1 K,approaching the liquid nitrogen temperature.The reason for the high Tc is the strong EPC.And it is proved to be an anisotropic single-gap superconductor by analyzing the superconducting gap △k of BeC2.The electronic susceptibility calcula-tion shows strong nesting effect in BeC2.Since rare 2D superconductors show such a strong EPC constant λ which originates from the coupling between electrons in C-pz orbital and in-plane vibrations of Be and C atoms,the predicted BeC2 provides a new platform for investigating strong EPC 2D superconductor.
