Abstract

Recently the new graphitic material, BC₃, has been shown to exhibit electrical conductance which is 10% larger than graphite. In order to explain this behavior we show that in the BC₃ monolayer the Fermi level lies at the top of the σ bands and that the semimetallic behavior, which appears upon stacking of the semiconducting monolayers, arises from the simultaneous presence of σ and π bands at the Fermi level.
