The amorphous carbon dataset was generated using ab initio calculations with VASP software. We utilized the LDA exchange-correlation functional and the PAW potential for carbon. Melt-quench simulations were performed to create amorphous and liquid-state structures. A simple cubic lattice of 216 carbon atoms was chosen as the initial state. Simulations were conducted at densities of 1.5, 1.7, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, and 3.5 g/cm3 to produce a variety of structures. The NVT ensemble was employed for all melt-quench simulations, and the density was adjusted by modifying the size of the simulation cell. A time step of 1 fs was used for the simulations. For all densities, only the Γ points were sampled in the k-space. To increase structural diversity, six independent simulations were performed.In the melt-quench simulations, the temperature was raised from 300 K to 9000 K over 2 ps to melt carbon. Equilibrium molecular dynamics …
