The cohesive energy is defined as Ec = Etot/N – Eisolated, where Etot is the total energy of the crystal, N is the number of atoms in the unit cell, and Eisolated is the total energy of an isolated carbon atom. The room-temperature lattice constants calculated under the quasi-harmonic approximation are also shown in parentheses for comparison.
