Effect of point defects on the electronic density states of SnC nanosheets: First-principles calculations

In this work, we investigated the electronic and structural properties of various defects including single Sn and C vacancies, double vacancy of the Sn and C atoms, anti-sites, position exchange and the Stone–Wales (SW) defects in SnC nanosheets by using density-functional theory (DFT). We found tha...
