First principles studies of Si-C alloys

This study involves the investigation of silicon-carbon systems using ab initio techniques. It was motivated by the search for off-50:50 alloys and a way to quantify the strengths of 2D silicon-carbon materials. The study also predicts some under-reported properties for three previously proposed hyp...
