 Dr N. Marks: Microscopic Structure of Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon

Snapshot of the 64 atom ta-C network. The heavy lines show the network of bonds; the 22 dark spheres depict threefold coordinated atoms (sp2 hybridized) and the 42 light spheres show the fourfold coordinated atoms (sp3 hybridized). Phys. Rev. Letters

The simulations were performed by N. Marks, (Dept of Applied Physics, University of Sydney) at the Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart.
