The Mechanical and Electronic Properties of Carbon-Rich Silicon Carbide

A systematic investigation of structural, mechanical, anisotropic, and electronic properties of SiC2 and SiC4 at ambient pressure using the density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation is reported in this work. Mechanical properties, i.e., the elastic constants and elastic modul...
