Crystal structures and the electronic properties of silicon-rich silicon carbide materials by first principle calculations

Silicon carbide has been used in a variety of applications including solar cells due to its high stability. The high bandgap of pristine SiC, necessitates nonstoichiometric silicon carbide materials to be considered to tune the band gap for efficient solar light absorptions. In this regards, thermod...
