We report the results of the systematic investigation into correlations between energetics and hexagonal stacking configurations for carbon, silicon, SiC, BN, AlN, GaN, and InN polytypes with sp3-bonded networks. The atomistic geometry, energetics, and electronic structure for these compounds with u...
