Dear Alain,
generally I agree with you, especially on the point that the structure is likely to be unstable and/or energetically unfavorable. Even though, I might recommend Mr. Sanjay Kumar to refer to so-called "turbostratic graphene" - multilayer graphene which does not show the Bernal (ABABA) stacking, but where the graphene layers are misoriented with respect to each other. You might want to look at the famous Geim's paper: "Graphene: status and prospects"

However, I would rather address your statement about properties of multi-layer graphene, and its name. Indeed, "n-layer graphene" (generally, n
@ Nikolay,
OK, but in case of turbostratic carbon, AAA is meaningless as the carbon layers are indeed misoriented with each others. A more appropriate name should be given.
Alain
Sure, that's true. i just wanted to give Sanjay a possible option for his answer. I still agree with you on the point, that even if one could somehow prepare AAA-stacked trilayer graphene, this construction would likely be unstable...
Regards
Nikolay
