Abstract: We performed a systematic structural search of high-pressure carbon allotropes for unit cells containing from 6 to 24 atoms using the minima hopping method. We discovered a series of new structures that are consistently lower in enthalpy than the ones previously reported. Most of these include 5+7 or 4+8-membered rings, and can therefore be placed in the families proposed by Niu et al. [H. Niu, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 135501 (2012)]. However, we also found three more families with competitive enthalpies, and that contain 5+5+8-membered rings, sp2 motives, or buckled hexagons. These structures are likely to play an important role in dislocation planes and in structural defects of diamond and hexagonal diamond.
