Ab-Initio Calculation of the Electrical Conductivity, Optical Absorption, and Reflectivity of the 2D Materials SnC and NbC

Using density functional theory (DFT), we performed first-principles calculations of the electrical conductivity, optical absorption, and reflectivity for the 2D carbides SnC and NbC. We calculated the electronic energy band structure of the materials. We performed the calculations without consideri...
