BC3 is a semiconductor at ambient conditions having a band gap of ~0.3 eV. Electronic structure calculations are carried out on BC3 at pressures of 5, 20, 50 and 100 GPa. The system shows a semiconductor - metal transition by the application of pressure without any structural transition. � 2016 Author(s).Book chapter
