摘要: Abstract Clathrates are fully-sp3 cage-like three dimensional (3D) structures that offer unique mechanical and electronic properties. Here, the properties of Type-I-C46, Type-II-C34 Type-H-C34 carbon clathrates under uniaxial shear loads examined by means ab initio calculations. It is predicted those show distinct anisotropy in their ideal tensile/shear strengths critical strains, but isotropy Young's moduli. Intriguingly, maximum tensile exceed heavyweight diamond directional load, moduli comparable to diamond. Those deformability load-bearing bond configurations, resulting Moreover, all investigated intrinsically indirect semiconductors, can be greatly tuned tension strains. As a consequence, potentially utilized as lightweight strong engineering electromechanical devices.
